A testator with no issue left a will granting four nephews and one niece an option to purchase her farm. If more than one option holder wanted the farm, a lottery would determine the buyer. One of the nephews predeceased the decedent with no issue of his own. The executor of the estate took to the position that the option to the deceased nephew lapsed and that the option was to pass to the residuary beneficiaries. One of the other nephews disagreed, arguing that because the gift was a class gift, it was to pass to the other members of the class. The executor sought declaratory relief, and the trial court granted summary judgment for the nephew. On appeal, the court affirmed, finding that the language in Alice's will was a reasonably clear expression of intent for the gifts, including the option, to pass to a class of her relatives. The court found that the decedent initially named the class by name and thereafter referred to them by class. As such, the court found that, KRS 394.410(1), which governed class gifts, controlled.
