Description
This is an appeal from a judgment declaring plaintiffs' title to a tract of real estate to be good and marketable and directing the defendant to comply with the terms of a contract of sale. The validity of the title rests upon the binding effect of a prior judgment entered in December 1948. The real estate was devised under the will of John Dulaney, probated in 1897. The provisions of the will were rather complex, but in substance the property here involved was devised to his children for life, then to his grandchildren for life, then to his great-grandchildren in fee. In 1948 a suit was brought to sell the land devised by the will on the ground that it was not producing sufficient revenue to pay taxes and that a sale for subdivision purposes would prove most advantageous. At that time the testator's children were dead and two of the grandchildren had survived without issue. All persons then having an interest in the land were made parties to this suit. No contingent remaindermen were then in existence, nor have they yet appeared on the scene, and it is unlikely that they will do so because of the age of the life tenants.
