...ipso facto, terminate the agreement. [5] Although Marcella's disqualification by waiver is tantamount to her death prior to the death of the testator, which arguably would cause the devise to her to lapse and pass to the other residuary legatee, see § 732.604, Fla....

...In the instant case paragraph EIGHTH of the will leaves a life estate in a gasoline station to the widow with the remainder over to the said Dr. Rosch. It is this remainder interest that the widow seeks to strike down. The remainder interest, if avoided, falls into the residue. Section 732.604, Florida Statute (1980)....

On the other hand, appellees argued in their briefs that appellant has no standing because Trusts A and B constitute the residuary estate and, if Trust B fails, its assets pass to Trust A pursuant to section 732.604(2); in that event appellant would not share....
...The residue is not Trusts A and B nor Trust B alone, but consists of all assets devised to the trustee pursuant to Article IV of the testator’s will. We reach that conclusion simply by reading the two dispositive clauses of the will. 6 The effect *197 of that determination is to make the applicability of section 732.604(2) the primary consideration in the case....
...tory construction; namely, reading section 732.-604(2) in pari materia with section 731.-201(2), as it was intended by the legislature, and not literally with section
731.201(9), as such clearly was not the legislative intent. The net result is that section
732.604(2) applies and controls. The term “devisees,” as used in section
732.604, plainly was not intended to refer to trustees as used in section
731.201(9), but to beneficiaries as used in section
731.201(2)....
...First, if there is only one trustee and several beneficiaries of the residuary devise, the conclusion that the “residuary devisee” was the trustee would always result in intestacy as to that part of the residue which failed for any reason. (This is because only section 732.604(2) deals with residuary devises that fail; and it expressly requires more than one residuary devisee before it applies.) Such result is contrary to the rule of construction in section 732.-6005, Florida Statutes (1977)....
...suant to section
731.201(9), they still would not be the “residuary devisees” under a will designating several beneficiaries of the residue. The trustees obviously do not have proportionate interests in the residue, whereas beneficiaries do, and section
732.604(2) expressly refers to the proportionate interests of the residuary devisees. Third, to conclude otherwise would wipe out a line of well-reasoned decisions interpreting the statutory predecessor to section
732.604(2) 8 as intending that failed residuary gifts inured to the benefit of the remaining residuary beneficiaries....
