Syllabus

<p>Wills — Life estates■ — Remainders—Conveyance by all parties in interest.</p> <p>Where a testator devised all his estate to his wife for her life with power to dispose of any of such property and provided that upon her death the remainder be equally divided among his two children or the heirs of their body, or to the survivor, in case of no issue, and testator’s widow and two sons agreed to sell certain of the real estate so devised, the contention of the vendee that the vendors could not convey a marketable'title in fee simple was without merit, and in an action by the vendors for the purchase-money, the court should have entered judgment in favor of the plaintiffs.</p>
