Definition :

Disagreement, the refusal by a grantee, lessee, etc., to accept an estate, lease, etc., made to him: the annulling of a thing that had essence before. No estate can be vested in a person against his will, consequently no one can become a grantee, etc., without his agreement: the law implies such an agreement until the contrary is shown, but his disagreement renders the grant, etc., inoperative, see Peacock v. Eastland, (1870) LR 10 Eq 17. If an infant purchases an estate he may, on coming to full age, disagree thereto; and if he does not agree thereto, his heirs, after his death, may waive it. See Co. Litt. 2 b, 3 a, 380 b; 3 Preston's Abstracts, 104; Vin. Abr. 'Disagreement.
