(W)hat is termed a bare or mere possibility signifies nothing more than an expectancy, which is specifically applied to a mere hope of succession, unfounded in any limitation, provision, trust, or legal act whatever; such as the hope which an heir apparent or presumptive has of succeeding to the ancestor’s estate.

The essential difference between legal and equitable rights is best understood by comparing absolute ownership with trusts....(A) t this point it is only necessary to appreciate that trusts were unenforceable at common law. If land was conveyed to A in fee simple upon trust for B in fee simple, the common law courts regarded A as absolute owner and would not recognise any rights in B. But the Chancellor would enforce trusts, as matters of conscience, and compel A to hold the land on B's behalf and to allow B to enjoy it. In such a case A is the "legal owner", B is the "equitable owner". The land is vested in A, but since he is trustee of it he is not the beneficial owner : he has only the "bare legal estate", and the beneficial interest belongs to B. Now legal ownership confers rights "in rem", rights of property in the land itself, which can be enforced against anyone. Equitable ownership conferred at first only a right "in personam", a right to compel the trustee personally to perform his trust.(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 113).  1, record 2, English, - legal%20ownership

The distinction is between an interest that has arisen and one that has not arisen and may never arise, but in regard to which there is a remote possibility that the event upon which it depends will occur; the latter is not an interest or right, but is nothing more than a bare expectation of a future right. Hence, a person having nothing more than that has no right of action, such as the right to sue for preservation of the property concerned.(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, pp. 374-5)  1, record 4, English, - future%20right

Distinction must be made between the duration of the office of executor itself and the duration of the powers of executor over property which comes into his hands as such... Thus, while the powers of the executor over property vested in him may cease so that he becomes what may be called a bare executor, he still remains such...(Williams’ "Law Relating to Wills", 4th ed., 1974, p. 141)  1, record 7, English, - bare%20executor

"Right" is used by the old writers on real property law in the technical sense of a right which an owner of land had when he had been disseised, so that he had only the right of recovering possession either by entry or action. His estate was then said to be turned to a right....(I) f(he) further suffered a certain time to elapse, or had judgment given against him in a possessory action, he could no longer recover by possessory action, but only by an action on the right, meaning the right of ownership as opposed to the right to possession. Hence his estate was said to be turned to a mere, bare or naked right.(Jowitt's, 2nd ed., 1977, p. 1583)  1, record 8, English, - mere%20right
