Hopper v. Beavers, 362 Ill.App, 3d 913, 299 Ill. Dec. 287, 841 N. E.2d 1019 (5th Dist., 2005). When a spouse renounces a will the spouse’s 1/3 share is to be paid from the residue of the testamentary estate, even though it is 1/3 of the entire testamentary estate. When the residue is disposed of in parts or fractions it is necessary to determine whether the testator intends the respective parts or fractions to constitute subdivisions of the entire residue or to constitiute preliminary parts after which the true residue, meaning all the rest, is disposed of.
