Residue

That which remains after taking away a part; surplus. In a will, such portion of the estate as is left after paying the charges, debts, devises, and legacies. The presumption is that a testator uses it in this sense. A contrary intention must clearly appear. The "residue" of a man's estate, in testamentary language, means whatever is not specifically devised or bequeathed. The word has this meaning unless the whole will taken together shows clearly that it was not so intended. The courts incline to extend the word to the whole estate, when it is not clear whether the testator meant it to apply to a residue of the whole or only of a particular part.
