He who, after his ancestor dies intestate, has a right to all lands, tenements, and hereditaments which belonged to him or of which he was seised. The same as "heir general"... [Black's, 5th ed., 1979, p. 854].  1, record 2, English, - heir%20at%20law

The feudal rules of succession applied to find the heir were based on the succession of males in preference to females, on primogeniture among males, and on representation, whereby a descendant of a pre-deceased heir, e. g. a grandson, took in preference to a collateral of the deceased, e. g. a brother. An heir general or heir at law is such an heir. [The "Oxford Companion to Law, "1980, p. 559].  1, record 2, English, - heir%20at%20law

The reason why words of procreation were required was that "heirs," extended to all the "heirs general," including relatives other than descendants of the grantee, such as his brothers, uncles or cousins. An entail, however, was an interest which could pass only to lineal descendants of the original grantee (heirs special) and so "heirs" had to be restricted by the addition of words of procreation.

Coparcenary arose where two or more persons took hereditaments by the same title by descent. This might be at common law or by special custom. Coparcenary arose at common law where upon the death of a man seised in fee or in tail the land descended upon two or more females as heirs general or heirs in tail; it arose by custom where, according to the custom of gavelkind, the land descended upon two or more male persons. Such persons were called "coparceners"; they constituted but one heir to their ancestor; they had a joint seisin, and they had equal rights in the land as regards each other.(Halsbury, 4th ed., Vol. 39, pp. 371-2)  1, record 5, English, - coparcenary

General occupancy. If the estate "pur autre vie" was merely granted "to A" without any mention of his heirs, A's heir had no special claim to the land, for it was not inheritable. The first person to enter the land after A's death was therefore entitled to it as "general occupant" for the rest of the life of the "cestui que vie"....(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 101).  1, record 6, English, - general%20occupancy
