When any deceased tenant in common, joint tenant or coparcener of real property has devised any freehold interest in the property to any person, with a contingent interest by way of remainder, substitution or executory devise, to any other person, born or unborn, a proper court of equitable jurisdiction may, on the complaint of any person interested, order partition of the property to be made between the devisee or devisees, the surviving cotenant or cotenants and the person having such contingent interest. The decree shall bind the parties and the person having the contingent interest, his heirs and assigns.
