The overplus may be certain or uncertain .
It is certain ,
for example ,
when an estate is worth three thousand dollars ,
and the owner asserts it to be so in his will ,
and devises of the proceeds one thousand dollars to A ,
one thousand dollars to B ,
and the overplus to C ,
and in consequence of the deterioration of the estate ,
or from some other cause ,
it sells for less than three thousand dollars ,
each of the legatees A ,
B and C shall take one third :
the overplus is uncertain where ,
for example ,
a testator does not know the value of his estate ,
and gives various legacies and the overplus to another legatee ;
the latter will be entitled only to what may be left .
