"And his heirs" were also said to be words of inheritance since they indicated an inheritable estate, as opposed to a life estate which died with the life tenant. Moreover, they were words of general inheritance in contrast to "and the heirs of his body" which created a fee tail and were words of special inheritance, limiting the estate to descendants of A.

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.

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).  1, record 3, English, - words%20of%20inheritance
