Possibility
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Possibility, expectation, an uncertain thing which may or may not happen.
It is either near, or ordinary, as where an estate is limited to one after the death of another; or remote, or extraordinary, as where it is limited to a man, provided he marries a certain woman, and that she shall die and he shall marry another. See next title.
A possibility coupled with an interest in any tene-ments or hereditaments, of any tenure, whether the object of the gift or limitation of such possibility be or be not ascertained, may be disposed of by deed. [(English) Real Property Act, 1845, s. 6, reproduced by the (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 4(2)]
