What is the effect of a will for the maintenance of children when the child is 21 years old?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Repeta Estate, In re, 1922 CanLII 162 (SK CA):
I think also, upon the authorities, that a charge in a will for the maintenance of children does not cease upon the children attaining the age of twenty-one years, unless the intention of the testator that such maintenance should so cease is made clear by the terms of the will (Scott v. Key, 35 Beav. 291, 6 N.R. 349 [55 E.R. 907]; In re Booth; Booth v. Booth [1894] 2 Ch. 282, 63 L.J. Ch. 560).
