executors, administrators and assigns, all right, title, interest and estate
of such trustee or life tenant or holder of the defeasible estate, and of all
other persons who are or may be entitled to any right, title, interest or
estate in and to such reversion or sub-reversion, rent or sub-rent either
at law or in equity, and whether such other persons so entitled may
have vested or contingent interests therein, or whether such persons or
any of them are, or are not, in being at the date of such redemption.
Any petition filed under this section by or against a trustee or life
tenant or holder of a defeasible estate will be sufficient in law and equity
if the trustee or life tenant or holder of the defeasible estate be a party
thereto, and it shall not be necessary for any cestui que trustent,
remaindermen or other persons beneficially interested in the subject
matter of the petition to be a party to such petition, they being repre-

benefit of the persons entitled to said reversion and rent. Before
receiving the redemption money the trustee or life tenant or holder of
the defeasible estate shall give bond to the State of Maryland in the
penalty of double the amount of the redemption money, with a surety
or sureties to be approved by the court or the clerk thereof, unless such
trustee or life tenant or holder of the defeasible estate has previously
given a bond which protects the redemption money, or unless such
