The question to be decided will be whether the state has the right to place a tax upon a life interest inheritance for a num- ber of years according to an ex- perience table of years or whether the tax can be levied only for the actual time that the beneficiary re- ceives the life interest. | Benjamin H cy of this eity died in May, 1 leaving to Amos Hawley a life interest in $50,000. Amos died, nine months after Ben- jamin, having received only about $1,500 of the income. ‘When Benjamin died, according to the table, the state said that Amos would live for 3 proceeded to lay the inheritance tax fo- that length of time. The New | P-itain Trust Co. administrator of the estate of Amos Hawley, refused to pay the tax, claiming it unjust to levy a tax against a benefit for 30 years when it had been received for only nine months. The Trust Co. was upheld by Pro- bate Judge Bernard ¥. Gaffney, who declared that it was foolish to say a man would live and enjoy an in- heritance for 30 years when he died | nine months after receiving it. The state appealed and the superior court reversed the decision of the local probate judge. The New Britain ! Trust Co. has appealed to the su- preme court.
