Tail
Tail [fr. tailler, Fr., to prune]. An estate-tail was formerly a freehold of inheritance and is now an equitable interest which may be created after 1925 in respect of personalty as well as realty by way of trust and which (if not barred or disposed of by will after 1925) will devolve inequity on the person who would have taken realty as heir of the body or as tenant by the curtesy if the Law of Property Act, 1925, had not been passed [s. 130 (4) (ibid.)]The limitation of an estate so that it can be inherited only by the fee owner's issue or class of issue, Black's Law dictionary 7th Edn., p. 1466.An estate-tail in land now constitutes a settlement.

Tail after possibility of issue extinct, Tenant in
Tail after possibility of issue extinct, Tenant in. This estate arises out of a special entail as to the parentage of the issue, when the express condition has become impossible by reason of death. Thus, if an estate be granted to husband and wife, and their issue, male or female, if either of them die without issue, the survivor is tenant-in-tail after possibility of issue extinct; and even if there have been issue, yet if the issue die without issue, then the surviving parent is also such a tenant; and also if an estate be entailed upon a man and his issue from a particular wife, if she die without issue, the interest of the husband becomes reduced to a tenancy-in-tail after possibility of issue extinct. Only a donee in tail-special can become such a tenant, for if the entail be general, such a tenancy can never arise; for whilst he lives he may have issue, the law not admitting the impossibility of having children at any age. As an estate-tail is originally carved out of a fee-simpl...
