     are held by fiduciaries located in or resident of any state,
     territory or possession of the United States or of any foreign
     country, or have been held and owned by residents of any other
     state, territory or possession of the United States of America,
     or of any foreign country, and the said owners have died and
     letters testamentary or of administration, or other authority
     have been granted by or under the laws of such other state,
     territory or possession of the United States of America, or of
     any foreign country, and such fiduciaries, executors, or
     administrators have caused writs of scire facias to issue on
     such mortgages and judgments to be entered thereon or have
     caused judgments to be entered on the bonds accompanying the
     said mortgages, and the real estate described in said mortgages
     has been sold by the sheriff in pursuance of writs of fieri
     facias, venditioni exponas, or levari facias issued on such
     judgments, the sales so made and every of them, shall and the
     same are hereby declared to be valid and effectual to vest in
     the purchasers at such sales the title to the said real estate,
     with the same force and effect as if the said judgments had been
     entered and said writs of execution had been issued by
     fiduciaries located or resident in this Commonwealth or by
     executors or administrators to whom letters had been granted by
     the register of wills of a county in this Commonwealth.
        The provisions of this act shall not apply to any case which
     shall have heretofore been judicially adjudicated.
        Section 2.  The provisions of this act shall become effective
     immediately upon its final enactment.
