Holding
The court held that the testamentary trust created by William Walkerly’s will and codicil, which deferred the sale of the trust corpus for a fixed period of twenty-five years and until after the death of the widow, was valid and enforceable, and that the lower court’s decree of distribution, which altered the express terms of this trust by ordering an immediate sale, constituted reversible error.
