ON PETITIONS FOR REHEARING
*629Submitted on respondents’ The Archbishop of Portland in Oregon and Henry D. Gray petitions for rehearing.
Bert S. Gooding, Portland, for petitioner The Archbishop of Portland in Oregon.
John D. Ryan, Portland, for petitioner Henry D. Gray.
No appearance contra.
Before McAllister, Chief Justice, and Rossman, Perry, O’Connell, Sloan, Goodwin and Denecke, Justices.
O’CONNELL, J.
The defendants, The Archbishop of Portland in Oregon and the heirs of Henry D. Gray petition for rehearing. The petition for the heirs of Henry Gray, deceased urges us to hold that the property at 1534 N.E. 3rd Avenue vested in Henry Gray subject to be*630ing divested in the event that the estate vested in Michael or Patrick McCormick in 1983.
The defendant The Archbishop of Portland in Oregon takes the position that the estate was intended to vest in the trustee during this period. It is evident from the will the latter position is correct. Therefore, the heirs of Henry D. G-ray have no interest.
A similar argument is made with respect to the property devised in paragraph Fourteen of the will. Although this paragraph does not itself indicate where the title is to vest or what disposition is to be made of the income from the property described, the other clauses of the will reveal the intent of the testatrix to vest the legal title in the trustee until 1983 and during that period to use the income from the corpus to pay the unpaid balances and encumbrances on the various parcels of property devised under the will.
We are urged to declare that the income from real property in Washington described in paragraph Fourteen should be applied to the same purposes as the income from the Oregon property. The effect of the trust as to land in Washington is determined by the law of Washington. In re Tutules’ Estate, 22 Cal Rptr 427 (1962); In re Piazza’s Estate, 130 NYS2d 244 (1954); Restatement, Conflict of Laws § 239 (1934).
The petitions are denied.
