In order to create an estate tail at common law, words of procreation had to be used, such as, "and the heirs of his body". Statutes in the 19th century relaxed this requirement in much the same way as in the case of the fee simple. The estate continues in effect in England but it has been abolished in most of the Canadian provinces. (Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 28).
