TITLE 34
Property
CHAPTER 34-4
Estates in Real Property
SECTION 34-4-7
§ 34-4-7 Sale or mortgage of real estate
subject to contingent remainder, executory devise, or power of appointment.
When real estate is subject to a contingent remainder, executory devise, or
power of appointment, the superior court may, upon the petition of any person
who has an estate in possession in the real estate, and after notice and other
proceedings as required by this chapter, appoint one or more trustees and
authorize him or her or them to sell and convey the estate or any part thereof
in fee simple, if the sale and conveyance appears to the court to be necessary
or expedient, for such an amount, and on such terms, as the court may deem
proper; and the conveyance shall be valid and binding upon all parties. The
trustee or trustees may, in the discretion of the court, and upon such terms
and conditions as the court may prescribe, execute a mortgage of the estate or
any part thereof, which mortgage may contain such powers of sale, conditions,
and covenants as are usual in mortgages taken by savings banks in this state.
Notes secured by, and covenants contained in, mortgages executed by the trustee
or trustees, so far as those notes and covenants are made by the trustee or
trustees in his or her or their representative capacity, shall not bind the
trustee or trustees personally, but only the trust estate.
