Question

The __________ rule states that if a writing, or a term in question, appears to be __________ on its face, we must determine its meaning from just "the four corners" of the document, without resorting to outside evidence, and give the words their ordinary meaning.

Answer 1

Answer:plain-meaning rule; plain and ambiguous

Explanation:

The Plain meaning rule definition:

The plain meaning rule refers to a statutory which gives the common meaning of the langauge of that statute

There should be no double meaning in the will otherwise the court will not take the will until outside proof is brought into the court in order to deal with the plain meaning of the will.

It encourages the use of the ordinary langauge in order to make it easy to judge the case without complicated terms .
