On Motion for Rehearing.
In our former holding we held, in effect, that under the will appellee was appointed trustee of the estate and it was not subject to partition among the appellants until they had reached the age of 21 years. We are asked to modify this ruling so as to embrace the condition that, if the disability of either of the minors should be removed or the girl should marry, then either would be entitled to his or her distributive share of the estate. We presumed that would be the proper construction of our holding, as the law provides that if a girl marries or a minor’s disabilities are removed their legal status is thereby fixed and they would be able to receive and control their property as provided by law.
The motion for rehearing is therefore overruled.
