In re Assigned Estate of Handy
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
The matters involved in this controversy were before this court in Handy’s Estate, 167 Pa. 552, and most of them decided. The principal question now raised is whether the estate of E. S. Handy, Jr., under his father’s will included any interest in land which would be subject to the lien of a judgment against him. This question was incidentally considered in the former case but in the state of the record then was not decided though some intimation was given of the leaning of the court. The learned master, however, to whom the matter was referred back for the ascertainment of the liens and the effects of the sale upon them, took up the question anew with great learning and ability, and has stated his conclusions with such clearness and accuracy that little more is necessary for us than to express our approval of them.
Decree affirmed with costs.

- Will — Vested interest — Lien—Trust and trustees. Where a testator leaves his estate, consisting of real and personal property, in trust, and directs that after the death of his widow it shall be divided into four equal parts, leaving it absolutely to the discretion of the trustees as to how each one fourth part shall be made up, the beneficial owners of the respective parts have not, until the allotment is made, a vested interest in any part of the land, but a mere possibility or expectation, which is not the subject of lien.
