  • (a)  Where  an  estate in real property has heretofore vested or shall
      hereafter vest in an assignee  or  other  trustee  for  the  benefit  of
      creditors,  it  shall cease at the expiration of ten years from the time
      the trust was created, except where a different limitation is  contained
