1Opinion of the Court

NUGENT, Judge.

Mary Hearne Christopher, the life estate beneficiary of her grandmother’s trust, ap peals from the order of the circuit court sustaining motions to dismiss her petition seeking distribution of the accumulated income of the trust and distribution of such portion of the corpus of the trust as the court deemed fair. The motions to dismiss were filed by the trustees and the attorney for the unknown and unborn heirs, grantees, or successors of Margery M. Smith, Mary’s grandmother, Madeleine Smith, Mary’s mother, and Mary. We affirm the trial court’s dismissal of the petition.
