In re the Estate of Dunn
Opinion of the Court
Among the supplementary papers submitted by the parties, which reached me after the filing of my previous memorandum of decision, I find a copy of the will of the decedent. An examination of that will satisfies me 'that it is not at 'all clear that the real property in question was devised to the •two children of the decedent as tenants in common, as alleged in the petition in this proceeding, and that it may be that a proper construction of the paper requires the conclusion that the’ devise was to the executors for purposes of sale, coupled with a mandatory power to sell and divide the proceeds, thus leaving the legal title in the executors, bound by trusts, in all respects as if it had forthwith been converted into personalty. This question is before the Supreme Court for decision in the
Proceeding dismissed.
