Syllabus

<p>Orphans' Court sale — Sales—Confirmation—Passing of title.</p> <p>The confirmation by the Orphans’ Court of the sale of real estate made by an executor in pursuance of his authority, is not complete until the purchase-money be paid, and a deed delivered. A sale and confirmation alone does not divest the title of the heir. If after the confirmation of the sale, but before the purchase-money is paid and a deed delivered, and while the executor is still in possession, a tree on the land, admittedly in bad condition, breaks, and in its fall, injures another person’s building, the purchaser of the land is not liable in damages for the injuries to such building.</p>
