Definition
Cessate grants, where a testator has directed that in a certain event some other person is to be substituted for his original executor, that other person becomes entitled upon the happening of the event to a grant in his own favour. Such a grant is known as a cessate or second grant, and differs from a grant de bonis non-administrators by being a re-grant of all the estate remaining, and by being a grant of probated and not of administration with the Will annexed, Halsbury's Laws of England, Vol. 17, para 863, p. 455.
