(a) When real estate is desired to be settled upon the children as the parents shall appoint, and, in default, equally, the best way is to convey the estate to the trustees, upon trust to sell and hold the money produced upon trusts to be declared by a settlement of even date. See Precedents infra, pp. 348, 353. For when real eatate is settled as in the Precedent in the text, the ordinary provisions for hotchpot and advancement cannot be applied, nor those for maintenance and accumulation, conveniently, and there is difficulty in dealing with the estate when it becomes divisible among the children.

And it is evident that the effect of a settlement in trust for sale, (such sale, during the lives of the tenants for life, to be with their consent,) and a declaration that the rents till a sale shall go as the income of the funds would go, is tantamount to the settlement of the real estate in specie, with the ordinary power of sale. The Precedent in the text, however, is given because a settlement of this kind is sometimes insisted on.
