DEF

An assent in writing, but not under seal, whereby a personal representative vests settled land in the person entitled as tenant for life or statutory owner.

CONT

In the case of land which remains settled notwithstanding the death of the deceased, the legal estate is vested in the next person entitled by means of a vesting assent.

CONT

Some types of property require transfer formalities in addition to assent, e.g. shares, settled land (which requires a vesting assent).

Domaine(s)
  • Droit successoral (common law)
