SO extensive and various is the relation between persons and property; SO great the privileges and power, political as well as social, which wealth confers upon its possessor, that the law, expounding its principles and governing its transfer, is of universal interest. This particular law is technically called Conveyancing and, like every other human acquirement, distributes itself into the Science and the Art: the science developing the theoretical plan, and systematizing the Speculative principles of the subject; the Art being mechanical, and laying down ascertained rules for facilitating the method Of disposition.
It will be convenient, on the threshold Of our inquiry, to ascertain the technical meaning Of several very general expressions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the quantity and quality of estates within English law, providing an in-depth analysis of the various interests one can enjoy in land. The author, an expert in the field, begins by elucidating the fundamental concepts of property and estate, setting the stage for a comprehensive examination of the subject. The book delves into the different types of freehold estates, including fees simple, fees tail, and fee quals, meticulously outlining the technical words and phrases used to define each. The author also explores chattel interests, which are estates that endure for a fixed period of time rather than for a life, such as tenancies for years. Beyond the classification of estates, the book examines their incidents, such as the rights and obligations of the holder. The author provides a thorough discussion of the rule in Shelley's case, a crucial legal principle that determines when a limitation in a deed or will creates an estate of inheritance. The concluding chapter ties together the various strands of the discussion, emphasizing the significance of the book's insights for understanding the complex web of property law.
