§ 117. Construction by superior court and supreme court
In cases where the terms of a will are doubtful or in dispute, a person interested in the estate, either as legatee, devisee or heir at law, may bring a complaint before the superior court to have the will construed. The superior judge, or the supreme court on appeal, shall proceed to construe the will, and that decision shall be binding on parties who are served with process and all who appear in the cause, notwithstanding it appears that others may at some future time become interested under the will.
