Holding
The court held that a trust deed created only a life estate in the trustee, with contingent remainders in the beneficiaries, and that the trustee’s subsequent attempt to release the full legal title to the life beneficiary was ineffective to convey the remainder interests that had already vested in the beneficiary's children.
