After providing for the payment of his debts, said decedent in and by second clause of his will devised and bequeathed unto Foreman Bros. Banking Company, á corporation of Illinois, all the rest, residue and remainder of his estate in trust to hold and control the same upon certain trusts, purposes and conditions as in said will set forth; and in and by the tenth clause of the said will the testator provided that when his youngest surviving child should re'ach the age of twenty-five years the trust should terminate and the trustee should distribute all the property then in its hands and not previously paid or distributed to his widow, Lottie Nath, or to certain legatees as provided in said will, to Kathryn Greenblatt, Rose Nath (now Rose Nath Dresser) and Bernard Nath in equal parts, share and share alike. Lottie Nath is the widow and Kathryn Nath Greenblatt, Rose Nath Dresser and Bernard Nath are respectively the daughters and son of the decedent. •
On April 19th, 1921, an order of record was made by the judge of the county court, based on the appraisement, fixing *27the cash value of the successions, interests, estates, legacies, transfers,- gifts and property which the parties interested under the will were entitled to receive by reason of the death of the said decedent, and fixed the amount of tax to which same was liable at the total sum of $2,199.13.
Pursuant to said order fixing the amount of the inheritance tax, Foreman Bros. Banking Company, as executor of the said last will of said Louis Nath, deceased, paid to the-county treasurer the sum of $21,088.18, being the amount in full of such taxes after deduction of the statutory 5% discount, and on March 27,1922, final report was made by the executor, the estate declared closed and the executor discharged.
On February 23, 1923, Bernard Nath, the youngest surviving child of the testator became 25 years of age; and on that date the said claimants, Bose Nath Dresser, Kathryn Nath G-reenblatt and Bernard Nath, became and now are each seized and possessed of an equal undivided one-third (1/3) part of the residue of the said trust estate and entitled to enjoy the same free from any contingencies whatever, and subject only to the dower interest of the widow, Lottie Nath.
By reason of the survival of the petitioners (the claimants) beyond the date when Bernard Nath reached the age of 25 years; and by reason of the termination of the said trust and the extinguishment of all contingencies and conditions contemplated in and by the original appraisement and assessment of inheritance taxes, the said claimants under.and by virtue of said Section 25 of the Bevenue Act became and were entitled to a reassessment of the inheritance taxes assessed against the various persons taking under the said will; and thereupon the 25th day of March, 1924, by proper order reassessing all inheritance taxes in said estate, which reduced the tax to 1,235.77.
By reason of such, entry of said last order, the amount of said inheritance taxes which should be paid is $1235.77, less 5%, the statutory discount, making, a total sum which properly should be paid of $1173.98.
The original amount of inheritance paid to the county treasurer as aforesaid was $2089.18. This leaves due claimant the sum of $915.20 with interest as claimed.
It is therefore ordered that the claimant recover from the defendant, State of Illinois, the said sum of $915.20 with 3% interest thereon per annum from the 24th day of May, A. D. 1921.
