Questão jurídica principal
Whether the legacy had to be declared as taxable wealth upon the testator’s death
Decisão extraída
A legacy becomes part of the beneficiary’s taxable wealth at the testator’s death, even if payment is later and subject to factual uncertainties.
Fundamentação extraída
The claim arising from a legacy is an enforceable asset right from death; maturity is not required for wealth taxation. Any uncertainty can only affect valuation, not taxability.
