Every person who, by any contingency, is or may become entitled to a beneficial interest in an undivided share in the property, provided that where a future estate or interest is limited in any contingency to the persons who shall compose a certain class upon the happening of a future event, it shall be sufficient to make parties to the action the persons who would have been entitled to such estate or interest if such event had happened immediately before the commencement of the action;

4. Every person having an inchoate right of dower in an undivided share in the property;

5. Every person having a right of dower in the property, or any part thereof, which has not been admeasured; and
