The court held that the executors must perform and carry into execution the trust by executing assent and conveyance to vest the property in the plaintiff and may deliver vacant possession prior to grant of probate under sections 66 and 70 of the Probate and Administration Ordinance; the testamentary restriction prevents disposal until 1 January 2015 but does not delay vesting, and potential estate duty concerns do not justify postponing assent if reasonable arrangements for liabilities are made.
