Base fee
Base fee. A species of inheritable freehold estate which forms part of the class of estates known as conditional freeholds of inheritance. In a more special sense, a base fee was until 1926 a fee simple determinable on the failure of issue of an original donee of the estate in tail. It was limited by the failure of the heirs of the body of that donee to take, and upon that failure the persons next entitled in remainder became entitled to the remainder in tail or in fee simple, as the case might be. As where a tenant-in-tail, with remainder to a stranger, conveys the fee-simple to another in the property entailed upon him, such other takes a qualified fee by legal construction, determinable on the death of the tenant-in-tail and failure of the issue under the entail. Another example of such an estate is when a tenant-in-tail, not being himself entitled to the immediate remainder or reversion in fee, conveys without the consent of the protectors of the settlement; he then transfers a bas...

Base-estate
Base-estate, lands held by base-tenants, who performed villeinous services to their lords; but there is a difference between a base estate and villenage, for to hold in pure villenage is to do all that the lord commands; and if a copy holder have but a base estate, he, not holding by the performance of every commandment of his lord, cannot be said to holding villenage, Kitch. 41....
