A wife’s interest in the lands of her husband during his life, which may become a right of dower upon his death. A contingent claim or possibility of acquiring dower by outliving husband and arises, not out of contract, but as an institution of law constituting a mere chose in action incapable of transfer by separate grant but susceptible of extinguishment, which is effected by wife joining with husband in deed, which operates as release or satisfaction of interest and not as conveyance.

At common law, whenever a husband became seised(otherwise than as a joint tenant) of an estate of inheritance during coverture which issue of the marriage, if any, could inherit, the wife obtained an inchoate right of dower therein which became consummate on the husband's death survived by his wife. The dower right was a life interest in one-third of such freeholds of inheritance and constituted a clog on the husband's title even in his life-time.(Laskin, Revised Edition 1964, p. 72). 1, record 13, English, - dower%20right

A term variously defined as the right of the husband akin to the inchoate right of dower of the wife; the right of the husband in a jurisdiction in which the husband's right of curtesy is by statute the same as the right of dower, such right attaching the moment the wife becomes seized in fee simple during coverture; the doctrine that on the birth of issue, even though the husband has no greater interest in the wife's property during her life because of the "Married Woman's(sic) Act", he nevertheless has a potential life estate in his wife's real property conditional on his surviving her.(Ballentine's, 3rd ed., 1969, p. 599). 1, record 15, English, - inchoate%20curtesy

The three inchoate offenses are attempt, conspiracy, and solicitation. These preliminary crimes have sometimes been erroneously described as "inchoate" offenses. This is misleading because the word "inchoate" connotes something which is not yet completed, and it is therefore not accurately used to denote something which is itself complete., even though it be a link in a chain of events leading to some object which is not yet attained. 1, record 17, English, - preliminary%20offense

The western provinces abolished dower but replaced it with homestead rights. ... Rights in the homestead include the right to refuse consent to a change of homestead or to its sale (sales made without consent are void), a life estate in the whole of the homestead to the surviving spouse, and certain immunity from seizure of the homestead by creditors. ... Homestead rights give the wife somewhat better protection than does dower: during her husband’s lifetime she can prevent the sale of the homestead completely; and if she survives him, she has an exclusive life interest in the whole of the homestead rather than the one-third interest of dower. Homestead rights are less cumbersome than dower-they do not affect other real property of the spouse. 5, record 19, English, - homestead%20right

The idea of coalescence of sovereignty over a territory lends substance to the doctrine of "inchoate title"... Obviously the State that is in process of perfecting its title has more claim to the terra nullius than any other, though its title is not unimpeachable. In a sense it may be said that the claimant State has a privilege to perfect its title, which implies that any other State has an equal privilege to frustrate by taking more final and decisive action. In the absence of such more final and decisive action the claimant's privilege amounts of priority of interest"... The doctrine in inchoate title [attributes] as against an interloper the widest extent of territory to the claimant who has actually made the first settlement. 1, record 22, English, - inchoate%20title
