Stickley 02/27/1998 Because a will which directs all estate taxes and administration expenses to be paid out of the residuary estate treated all debts, costs and expenses in the same manner, estate taxes should not be apportioned upon depletion of the residuary estate but should be changed generally against the probate estate. The testator satisfied the requirements of the anti-apportionment statute and the judgment is affirmed.
