An interest is "vested in possession" when it gives the right of present enjoyment; but of course it is not then a future interest. If it is vested in interest but not in possession ... it is a "future interest", since the right of enjoyment is postponed, yet it is also an already subsisting right in property vested in its owner: it is a present right to future enjoyment. (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 173). 1, record 1, English, - present%20right

[...] à l'occasion de la normalisation du Droit des biens, le gouvernement fédéral a choisi de laisser les gouvernements provinciaux établir la terminologie en ce domaine de droit privé qui relève de la compétence législative des provinces. Aussi, dans les Lois révisées du Canada de 1985, on retrouve [par ex.] dans la version française «biens meubles» et «biens immeubles» pour rendre «personal property» et «real property» et non les expressions normalisées «biens personnels» et «biens réels». 3, record 3, French, - droit%20actuel
