Someone bequeathed 10,000 florins in their will to the first of their relatives who arrived at their place of death. When one of their cousins in this city had a son, that cousin claimed the legacy for their child. In his decision, the physician David ben Jacob de Meza concludes that the disputed provision in the will is legally ineffective, and the 10,000 florins belong to the legal heirs. He summarizes the results of his investigation with a quote attributed to R. Joseph Karo in the Tur, on behalf of Rabbi Salomo ben Abraham b. Adereth.
