Assume that A was seized of the fee simple estate in Blackacre, and that A's heir, C, was an infant aged ten years. At common law, upon the death of A, the fee simple estate would pass, by inheritance, to C. As C was an infant, the land would go into wardship and with the land also would go the child. Blackacre would become subject to the onerous feudal incidents of wardship and marriage and, as a result, financial havoc could be wrought upon A's family. To avoid this result, A would make the following disposition of Blackacre by way of a use : A would be the "feoffor to uses", B the "feoffee to uses", and C the "cestui que use". B would undertake to hold the fee simple estate to the use of A until his death and, thereafter, to the use of C, A's heir.  2, record 1, English, - feoffor%20to%20uses

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 12, English, - coparcenary

Descent cast is the same as what the older writers called a "descent which tolls entry". Where a person who acquired land by disseisin, abatement or intrusion died seised of the land, the descent of it to his heir took away or "tolled" the true owner's right of entry, so that he could only recover the land by an action.  1, record 16, English, - descent%20which%20tolls%20entry

The doctrine of descent cast was abolished by the Real Property Limitation Act, 1833, s. 39. The term seems to have originally meant the happening of any descent, because the law used to "cast" the land upon the heir.  1, record 16, English, - descent%20which%20tolls%20entry
