(L) egal executory interests... are interests of a kind quite different from those recognized by the common law. As the word "legal" indicates, they are interests that affect legal title. They are "executory" in that they are always contingent and never vested, and when the contingency occurs they vest forthwith in possession and do not pass through the stage of vesting in interest. Moreover, legal executory interests are not subject to the common law remainder rules and in this sense, in contrast with legal contingent remainders, may be termed "indestructible.
