Executors appointed. executors named. and appoint my said wife, together with the said (trustees), to be executrix and executors of this my will, and in case of the death of any two or more of them before the trusts of this my will shall be fully executed and performed, then I do nominate, constitute, and appoint my two eldest sons, for the time. being, when they shall respectively have attained the age of 18 years, to be executors of this my will, Substitutionary in the place and stead of such two or more of them, my said wife, and the said trustees, as shall so die before the trusts of my said will shall be fully executed and performed, and with all the same power and powers, authority and authorities, to all intents and purposes whatsoever, as such executrix or executors, who shall so happen to die, had or might have under and by virtue of this my will, at the time of his or her death. To obtain a decree, if a decree be necessary, the trustees, or any person as prochein ami for the infant cestui que trusts, may file a bill to compel a specific performance of the contract by the purchasers, and then the Court will direct and confirm the sale. But purchasers of leasehold or chattel estates or interests will be safe without any decree, notwithstanding the omission to make the receipts of the trustees discharges, if the trustees are also executors, for the property in such subjects always vest inthe first place, notwithstanding the dispositions of the will, in the executors. A testator cannot prevent them from being assets in the hands of the executors to go in a due course of administration. The power of sale is annexed to their office, and the purchaser is never obliged to enter into the account, or enquire into the necessity of any sale, 4 T. R. 625, Whale v. Booth, 2 P. Wms. 149, Ewer v. Corbitt. But the transaction must be clear of all fraud or collusion, for if it be tainted with these qualities the estate will be specifically followed into the hands of the purchaser. So where there is express notice of a debt of testator unsatisfied, and the sale is a contrivance between the purchaser and executor to defeat the debtor, the purchaser makes himself party to the devastavit; see 2 Vern. 616, Crane v. Drake, 1 Atk. 463, Nugent. Gifford, 7 Vez. jun. 152, Hill v. Simpson. And if such sale be without valuable consideration it falls within the statute, 13 El. c. 5, Gilb. Eq. R. 111.
