Section 78. Effect of assignment  


Latest version.
  • The assignment vests in the trustee or
      trustees all the petitioner's interest, legal or equitable, at the  time
      of  its  execution,  in any real or personal property, not exempt by law
      from levy and sale  by  virtue  of  an  execution;  and  any  contingent
      interest which may vest within three years thereafter. When a contingent
      interest  so  vests,  it passes to the trustee, in the same manner as it
      would have vested in the petitioner, if he had not made an assignment.
