The word, heirs, is necessary in the grant or donation in order to make a fee, or inheritance. For if land be given to a man for ever, or to him and his assigns for ever, this vests in him but an estate for life.... [This rule] does not extend to devises by will; in which, as they were introduced at the time when the feodal rigor was apace wearing out, a more liberal construction is allowed : and therefore by a devise to a man for ever, or to one and his assigns for ever, or to one in fee-simple, the devisee hath an estate of inheritance; for the intention of the devisor is sufficiently plain from the words of perpetuity annexed, though be hath omitted the legal words of inheritance. But if the devise be to a man and his assigns, without annexing words of perpetuity, there the devisee shall take only an estate for life; for it does not appear the devisor intended any more....(Blackstone, Book II, p. 107-108)

Words of inheritance are words of limitation indicating the character of the estate granted (or devised) ... Many jurisdictions have done away with the necessity of using technical words limiting estates in land, to the end that a fee estate may be created without words of inheritance. (Cartwright, 1972, p. 1017).

CONT

Exactly why the words "and his heirs" where necessary to create an estate in fee simple is unclear.... was, however, necessary to use the plural word ’heirs" because if the grant were to a person and his "heir", that word could refer only to the person who would be the heir at the death of the grantee, so as not to be a word of inheritance or limitation. In such a case, at common law, the grantee would get only a life estate.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, pp. 101-102).

When a person has an interest in lands, and grants a portion of that interest, the possession of the lands, on the determination of the interest granted, returns or reverts to the grantor.

In feudal times, on every grant of land, a right remained in the grantor to the services of the grantee during the continuance of his estate, and to a return of the land on its expiration. Whether this right of the grantor depended on an estate for life or in fee, it was of the same nature and was called his reverter or escheat;(Jowitt's, 2nd ed., 1977, p. 1577).

Real estate is a technical term and is generally to be construed in its technical sense. It comprises all freehold (and formerly copyhold) lands, tenements and hereditaments, but not leasehold interests.... "Real estate" includes, also, any rights in land, such as a rentcharge, which admit of being limited in the same manner as freehold estates or interests. (39 Hals., 4th, p. 214)

CONT

As the common law developed, real property came to mean that form of property which could be specifically recovered by a real action if possession were lost. Only freeholdings of land were thus recoverable in the realty. (Crossley Vaines, 5th, p. 6)

OBS

The terms "real property, ""realty" and "real estate" are quasi-synonyms. "Real property" and "real estate" serve for distinct technical classifications. Originally, the use of the term "property" itself was confined to cases where the right included possession. The term "real property, "as opposed to "personal property, "was used to denote land and things attached to land so as to become part of it, as well as rights in the land which endure for a life. The term "real estate, "as opposed to "personal estate, "comprised all freehold(and formerly copyhold) lands, tenements and hereditaments(except leasehold interests) that a person owned, and also included any rights in land which could be limited in the same manner as freehold estates or interests. In modern usage, all three terms refer to the same object, comprising corporeal and incorporeal hereditaments.

Extinguishment. The term has, in the law, no fixed, uniform and universal meaning, but varies with the subject matter to which it is applied; but usually it connotes the end of a thing, precluding the existence of future life therein, and has been defined generally as meaning a complete wiping out, destruction, or annihilation, and not a mere suspension; the destruction or cancellation of a right, power, contract, or estate; a discharge by operation of law; a termination; and, more specifically, as the annihilation or extinction of a right by its being consolidated with a greater or more extensive right; the extinction of a charge or equity by its passing into the hands of the owner of the lands charged; and it has been sometimes used in the sense of payment.("Corpus Juris Secundum", Vol. 35, p. 352)

(extinguishment; extinction:) Both words are nouns corresponding to the verb "to extinguish".

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)

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.

A lease contract is both a conveyance and a contract. It creates an estate in land, usually for a term of years, but the estate created can be one for life, or it can be an estate at will. The lease contract also sounds in contract, and is subject to the rules of contract law. Contractual defenses are often allowed to justify termination of the lease. In the concept of the lease contract is found both privity of estate and privity of contract. It should be distinguished from a contract for a lease.(Cartwright, p. 532)

[Leasehold interest] generally referred to as a term of years, arises where land has been demised, i. e. leased, to a man for a definite number of years. It thus lacks the requirement of an uncertain duration, and though the period for which it is to last may be very great, as for instance 999 years, yet it is not a freehold estate, and in the eye of the law is a smaller interest than a life estate.(Cheshire's 12th ed., 1972, p. 38)

A freehold estate(a fee simple or a life estate) is an interest in land for an uncertain duration. All other interests are less than freehold, and include leasehold interests, such as an estate for years or an estate at will. Not all interests in land are estates.(Reilly, 2nd ed., 1982, p. 167)

Dower at common law was the right of a wife on surviving her husband to an estate for her life in one-third of the freehold estates of inheritance of which her deceased husband was solely seised at any time during the marriage and which her issue by him might possibly have inherited.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd, p. 175).

CONT

The legal right or interest... that a wife acquires in the property her husband held or acquired anytime during their marriage. During the husband's life, the dower is an expectant, or inchoate, interest which does not actually become a legal estate(called consummate dower) until the husband's death.(Reilly, 2nd, p. 146).

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).

The right of dower was twofold: namely, inchoate and consummate. (Mendes da Costa and Balfour, p. 730)

At common law, a tenant "pur autre vie" could not devise his estate by will and... it could not pass to his heirs by descent. On his death, however, the land did not revert to the grantor... and it did not escheat.... By reason of the rule that the freehold must never be vacant, the estate was completed by means of the doctrine of occupancy. If no one was entitled to enter into occupancy, any person who did enter into possession could hold the land during the life of the "cestui que vie" by right of occupancy....(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 156).

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.
