1. “* ⅜ * I am of the opinion, however, that the testatrix did not intend the will to operate as an execution of the power contained in the trust agreement ; that she executed that power under the trust agreement; and that she merely designated the beneficiaries and fixed their shares in the residuary clause of her will, and intended that such clause should be read into the trust agreement. In other words, she intended that her appointees, namely, the persons mentioned in the residuary clause of the will, were to take from the older estate, which is the trust estate. Matter of Franklin Trust Co., 103 Misc. Rep. 143, 146 , 169 N. Y. S. 812; Guaranty Trust Co. v. Halsted, 245 N. Y. 447, 459 , 157 N. E. 739 .”
