R.A.P.: The Case of the Slothful Executor





                                         2004 Red Sox--Curt Schilling's Bloody Sock

Grutz dies and his will devises Blackacre "to those of A's descendants who are living upon final distribution of my estate and their heirs."

How about this one:

 Grutz dies and his will devises Blackacre "to those of A's descendants who are living when the Red Sox win their next World Series."
