If in any action it shall appear that any persons not yet born are or may become entitled
to, or may upon coming into being claim to be entitled to, any future interest, legal
or equitable, whether arising by way of remainder, reversion, possibility of reverter,
executory devise, upon the happening of a condition subsequent, or otherwise, in any
property, real or personal, involved in such suit, the court may, and upon the application
