An  Illinois appeals court has struck down a provision in a will declaring that any of the testator’s grandchildren who marry outside the Jewish faith be deemed deceased and , thus, not entitled to share in the estate. Max and Erla Feinberg left their considerable assets to their descendants but with quite a catch: if one married outside the religion they would forfeit any right to share in the wealth. The court, in a thoughtful opinion, declared this provision unenforceable as against public policy because it acted as a restraint on marriage.”

The dissent, in one more stolen reference to everyone’s favorite baseball movie,  wrote: “Max and Erla had a dream with respect to the provisions of their will and if you will it, it is no dream.” Oy.
