CONT

At common law a tenant "pur autre vie" could not devise his estate, and it always devolved on his death according to the rules of occupancy. "Occupancy" was invented to explain the title to land which was neither inheritable nor devisable, and which therefore would belong to the first occupier(as the first person to get seisin) after the death of the tenant "pur autre vie".(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 101).

OBS

If issue were born alive during the life of the wife and capable of inheriting her freeholds of inheritance of which she became actually seised and which became possessory interests during coverture, the husband's estate "jure uxoris" became an estate by the curtesy initiated; and if he survived her his estate became curtesy consummate. The husband's estate by the curtesy was thus a life estate, measured by his own life and operable in respect of all the wife's inheritable freeholds as to which the above mentioned conditions were satisfied.(Laskin, Revised Edition 1964, p. 71).

General occupancy. If the estate "pur autre vie" was merely granted "to A" without any mention of his heirs, A's heir had no special claim to the land, for it was not inheritable. The first person to enter the land after A's death was therefore entitled to it as "general occupant" for the rest of the life of the "cestui que vie"....(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 101).

  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

The difference in effect between the acquisition of an estate by descent and by purchase, consisted at common law principally in these two points : 1. That by purchase the estate acquired a new inheritable quality, and descended to the owner's blood in general without preference to the blood of a particular ancestor. For, when a man took an estate by purchase, he took it not at feudum paternum or maternum which would descend, by the common law, only to the heirs by the father's or the mohter's side; but he took it ut feudum antiqueum, as a feud of indefinite antiquity : whereby it became inheritable to heirs general.
