Words of limitation are words which define the nature of the interest acquired. They are called words of limitation because it is the grantor's right to limit an estate as he sees fit, and the effect of the words is generally called a "limitation". Thus, in a grant "to A and his heirs" the words "to A" are words of purchase and the words "and his heirs" are words of limitation, which are apt to create an estate in fee simple in A. (Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 100). 1, record 1, English, - words%20of%20limitation
