SECTION 139: DIRECTION THAT MODE OF ENJOYMENT OF ABSOLUTE BEQUEST IS TO BE RESTRICTED, TO SECURE SPECIFIED BENEFIT FOR LEGATEE Where a testator absolutely bequeaths a fund, so as to sever it from his own estate, but directs that the mode of enjoyment of it by the legatee shall be restricted so as to secure a specified benefit for the legatee; if that benefit cannot be obtained for the legatee, the fund belongs to him as if the will had contained no such direction.
