in remainder
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
To have an interest in land or property `in remainder'
is to look forward to being able to enjoy the benefits of that
interest at some future date. An interest `in possession'
is one that can be enjoyed immediately. Both terms are normally
used of Freehold interests and, since the only legal
freehold is now the FeeSimpleAbsoluteInPossession,
it follows that only equitable interests can be in remainder.
