1994However, the opinion goes on to state, 149 Ohio St. at 27 , 36 O.O. at 350 , 77 N.E.2d at 242 : “It is obvious that the doctrine of equitable conversion, as interpreted by this court, is to the effect that such doctrine cannot be applied until preceding estates have been ended.” (Emphasis added.)
