Davis

Joan L.Davis, as executrix of the estate of Priscilla Kolda, deceased, appeals from an order of the probate court. Decedent died April 23, 1978. Her holographic will disposed of her house as follows: “My property shall go to Joan Davis, a friend, as long as she wishes to live here. Should she decease or not live at the premise of 1077 Alta Pine Lane, Altadena, it will revert to my sister, Mrs. Mary Ann Irwin [respondent].” Certain additional language in the will, which authorizes Joan Davis to sell the property, was excised from the will by order of the court on February 20, 1979, upon a stipulation settling a *285 will contest. That order provided: “That Joan Davis shall have an estate for life in the real property commonly known as 1077 Alta Pine Lane, Altadena, California, but without any power of sale of said property, and subject to her promptly paying and discharging any and all obligations for taxes, repairs, maintenance, assessments, insurance, together with both principal and interest on any mortgage on the property.” That order further provided for division of the furniture and other property of the estate, between Joan Davis and. Mary Ann Irwin.
