Chapter 191: Section 24. Devise of land in which testator has right of entry

Section 24. If a testator devises land of which he is not seized, but in which he has a right of entry, or if, after making a will, he is disseized of land devised thereby, such land shall nevertheless pass to the devisee in like manner as it would have descended to the testator’s heirs if he had died intestate, and the devisee shall have the same remedy for the recovery of such land as such heirs might have had.
