It is only an indulgence allowed to a man's last will and testament, where otherwise the words of the will would be void; for wherever a future interest is so limited by devise as to operate as a contingent remainder, such an interest is not an executory devise, but a contingent remainder.Executory Devises have been divided into three kinds, two relative to real, and the third to personal estate only, viz.:-(1) Where a testator devises his whole fee-simple, but upon some contingency qualifies such devise, and limits an estate on the contingency; e.g., a devise of land to the testator's wife for life, remainder to C., his second son ...
