Wallace, J.

It has recently been determined that under a devise to A for life, remainder to his children if any he has, and if he has none to B, B takes a vested remainder, subject to be divested by the birth of a child to A. Vandewalker v. Rollins, 63 N. H. 460; Cole v. Society, 64 N. H. 445, 457; Parker v. Ross, 69 N. H. 213. Here the testator devised the residue of his estate to his executors, to hold it in trust for the benefit of his son for life, remainder “ for the benefit of his children who may survive him,” and in case the son “ shall die without issue surviving him, or in case all. said children shall die before arriving at the age of twenty-one years without issue surviving them, then all said rest, residue, and remainder to go to my following named nephews and nieces, their respective heirs and assigns, in equal shares, discharged of all trusts.” The case at bar is not distinguishable from Vandewalker v. Rollins and Cole v. Society, and is governed by the doctrine enunciated in those cases. The son Gilbert having no child at the death of the testator, the estate immediately vested in the nephews and nieces named in the will, subject to be divested upon the birth of a child to Gilbert. The nephews and nieces would have taken the property at any time after the death of the testator upon the termination of the life interest, by the death of Gilbert without issue surviving him. The trust estate having vested as to title in the nephews and nieces named in the will, and never having been divested, upon Gilbert’s death with *154 out issue surviving him vested in them in possession, as it previously had. in interest.

The language employed by the testator in providing that the remainder should go “ to my following named nephews and nieces, their respective heirs and assigns, in equal shares,” indicated his intention that a particular share of the property should belong to each one of those named and their representatives, if they took under the will, and not that the survivors upon the son’s death should take the whole estate. The terms used by the testator show that it was Ms purpose to secure to the heirs or representatives of each deceased nephew or niece his or her share in the remainder. There are no words to indicate that he desired only those of Ms nephews and nieces who survived his son should take the estate. If such had been his wish, he would have used language expressing that purpose and would not have employed terms inconsistent therewith.

The trust having termmated upon the death of the son, there is no occasion for the trustee to further administer it by selling the real estate, and therefore no occasion to determine whether, if it was to be sold, it could be done by the surviving trustee. He has no further duties as to the real estate, and there is no occasion to advise as to the disposition thereof. The trust estate having vested upon the testator’s death in the nephews and nieces named in the will, and not having been subsequently divested, the personal property belongs in equal shares to those who are now living and the legal representatives of those who have deceased.

Case discharged.
