If land was limited ... "to B for life and to the heirs of his body," the Rule in "Shelley's Case" required that (this remainder) ... in fee tail should vest at once in B, and not in the persons who would be (his) heirs when (he) died. The words ... "and to the heirs of his body" were thus treated as words of limitation, marking out the estates taken by B. (Megarry & Wade, "The Law of Real Property", 4th ed., 1975, p. 61).
