§ 7-1.8 Duration of trust for benefit of creditors

(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

in the instrument creating the trust or is otherwise prescribed by law.

Such estate shall thereupon revert to the assignor.

(b) This section does not apply to a trust of personal property or to

a trust of real property created in connection with the salvaging of

mortgage participation certificates. Nor does this section affect any

rights to the proceeds of a sale of real property made by the assignee

or other trustee for the benefit of creditors.
