Relations

kindred. In its most extensive signification, this term includes all the kindred of the person spoken of. Ina more limited sense, it signifies those persons who are entitled as next of kin under the statute of distribution. A legacy to ‘‘ relations” generally, or to “ relations by blood or marriage,” without enumerating any of them, will, therefore, entitle to a share, such of the testator’s relatives as would: be entitled under the statute of distributions in the event of intestacy.
