At common law... a legal contingent remainder failed altogether unless it vested during the continuance, or at the determination, of the preceding particular estate. A single legal contingent remainder was accordingly bound to vest if at all, during or at the end of a life in being, and so could not offerred the perpetuity rule.(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 248) 1, record 1, English, - legal%20contingent%20remainder

Legal executory interests are future interests which arise either under a use executed by the "Statute of Uses" or, formerly, under a will. (Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 416) 1, record 2, English, - legal%20executory%20interest
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
(L) egal executory interests... are interests of a kind quite different from those recognized by the common law. As the word "legal" indicates, they are interests that affect legal title. They are "executory" in that they are always contingent and never vested, and when the contingency occurs they vest forthwith in possession and do not pass through the stage of vesting in interest. Moreover, legal executory interests are not subject to the common law remainder rules and in this sense, in contrast with legal contingent remainders, may be termed "indestructible.
