A recent statute of this state provides that in case of the death of the vendor of a land contract, his administrator, executor or trustee under the will, shall have full authority to convey such land contract, pursuant to the terms of such contract, with like effect as if the party contracting to convey had himself executed and delivered such deed or conveyance. In such cases it is, therefore, unnecessary to apply to the Probate court to secure specific performance of the contract.37 Nevertheless, the statutory provisions authorizing the Probate court in certain cases to award specific performance of a land contract have not been repealed and in event the administrator, executor or trustee under the will of the deceased person refuses to convey, pursuant to the terms of the original contract, for the sale of lands left by the decedent, resort may be had to the Probate court for the purpose of specifically enforcing such contract.38

This is an additional remedy given to the vendee or his assigns, but does not in any way exclude the jurisdiction of the court of equity to decree such relief.39
