This case is about a dispute over the sale of land with a life estate and future interests. John Weedon left all of his property to his wife Anna Plaxco Weedon for her lifetime, and upon her death, to her children if she had any. If Anna died without issue, then all of his property would go to his grandchildren. Anna requested that the property be sold and the proceeds be invested to provide her with adequate income from interest on the trust investment. The court granted Anna's request, but the contingent remaindermen appealed. The Mississippi Supreme Court has remanded the case to the chancery court for determination upon motion of the life tenant for relief by way of sale of a part of the burdened land sufficient to provide for her reasonable needs.
