  Cr02-852
Heikkila asserts that applying the rule that criminal statutes are strictly construed requires the conclusion that the alleged conduct with his nieces was not prohibited under the incest statute because he was not related to his nieces by blood.
Webster's defines a niece as a female descendant or relative, a daughter of one's brother or sister, or a daughter of one's brother-in-law or sister-in-law.
Although Heikkila's relationship to his nieces would not be characterized as a step-uncle, as with a stepfather, Heikkila was not related to his nieces by blood.

 49266-7-I - Estate of Else Sullivan, Et. Al., Appellant Sheila Brashear, Et. Al., Respondent File Date: 03/31/2003
By letter, the attorney for the nieces told Brashear that her petition for an award in lieu of homestead would likely only serve to increase her fees, noting that the guardian fees paid out of the Medicaid allowance would be considerably reduced.
On May 22, 2000, the nieces filed suit against Brashear, alleging that as a result of her negligence, misfeasance, and nonfeasance, the estates of Else and John Sullivan were substantially damaged.
The nieces, as beneficiaries of the estate of Else, suffered a financial depletion of their aunt's estate by expenditures of legal fees and costs to defend and respond to the short- sighted actions of Brashear as guardian of John's estate.

 Manning Fulton & Skinner - Build Your Future
Upon the death of a niece or nephew, his or her interest in the income ceased, and the portion formerly going to that niece or nephew was to be divided among the surviving members of the class, until the number of survivors reached four.
The intent behind this testamentary plan is clear: by giving to his great nieces and great nephews a major portion of the income of the trust, testator intended that class to be the ultimate beneficiaries of his largesse, the principal as well as the income.
The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court`s legal conclusion that the death of a great niece or great nephew does not terminate his or her right to income and that the income should be paid to his or her estate, intestate heirs or testamentary beneficiaries until the termination of the trust.

Jenco's ordeal on his siblings than on his nieces and nephews, there is no dispute that the nieces and nephews suffered emotional distress by virtue of the harm done to their uncle.
To choose to include nieces and nephews within the definition of "immediate family" over, for example, close friends who may be even more egregiously affected by state-sponsored terror- ism, seems to us to be well beyond our appropriate role as judges on the federal bench.
The nieces and nephews are not direct victims under § 46(1), and they are not "immediate family" members under § 46(2).

See footnote Nieces and Nephew filed a Complaint (“Tort Action”), which is the subject of this appeal, against Jill and Pennington in Floyd Superior Court alleging the tort of Interference with an Inheritance.
According to Nieces and Nephew, although the New Will was never reduced to writing, they would have been the “chief beneficiaries,” Jill would have received nothing, and Pennington would not have been named as the executor.
Consequently, Nieces and Nephew sought “compensatory damages for all such amounts as were directly and proximately caused by the conduct of” Jill and Pennington.

Since knowing the sum of the ages did not uniquely identify the ages of the nieces, you must conclude that the sum of the ages is 14, as no other sum appears more than once.

 Recent Case Law Developments In Will And Trust Instrument Construction
The decedent’s blood nieces and nephews initiated a declaratory judgment action and filed a motion for summary judgment asking that the Court rule that the term "my nieces and nephews" as used in the decedent’s Will, referred only to the children of the decedent’s brothers and sisters.
The respondents countered that the term "my nieces and nephews" as used in the Will, is susceptible of different meanings and that there was a genuine issue of material fact regarding the decedent’s intentions in employing the term "my nieces and nephews" in his Will.
The decedent’s blood nieces and nephews, maintaining that they were the only individuals referenced by the decedent when he used the phrase "my nieces and nephews," cited numerous cases decided by courts outside Texas standing for the proposition that the phrase "nieces and nephews" did not include nieces and nephews by marriage.

 91044 -- Brewer v. Schalansky -- Luckert -- Kansas Supreme Court
As suggested by SRS, there was evidence that Brewer placed her nieces' names on the stock account to avoid probate, intended for the funds to be utilized exclusively for her own support during her lifetime, and did not intend for her nieces to access the funds until her death.
Also, SRS argues that since the nieces could not sell the stock without Brewer's consent, it can be inferred that Brewer did not intend a complete gift by adding their names to the stock.
On the other hand, there was some evidence that Brewer had placed her nieces' names on the stock as compensation for the support the nieces had provided over the years.

Disputes arose between the nieces and between the trustees with respect to the diversification of the trusts, 90% of which were held in the stock of Company X. As a result, the trustees adopted a plan to increase the distributions to both nieces and reduce the position in Company X to 50%.
The niece who had been paid a lesser amount filed a petition with the same court to have the trustees removed, have them surcharged for excessive fees, and to require the trustees to increase the amount of trust distributions to take into account her best interests and welfare.
The settlement was conditioned upon IRS approval and an agreement by the nieces to establish estate plans that would provide funds to benefit any children born to or adopted by either of them.
