CONT

The term is almost invariably used in a narrower sense, in contradistinction as well to contingent remainder, as to immediate devises, so as to denote "such a limitation of a future estate or interest in lands or chattels, as the law admits in the case of a will, though contrary to the rules of limitation in conveyances at common law", or, in other words, to denote limitations of springing interests, limitations of interest by way of conditional limitation, and quasi remainders after a life interest in personal estate...(Fearne, p. 33)

CONT

Every devise of a future interest, which is not preceded by an estate of freehold, created by the same will (whether consisting of one or more testamentary papers), or which, being so preceded, is limited to take effect before or after, and not at the expiration of such prior estate of freehold, is an executory devise.
