Entireties, tenancy by
Entireties, tenancy by. Before the (English) L.P. Act, 1925, where an estate was conveyed or devised to a man and his wife during coverture, they were said to be tenants by entireties, that is, each was said to be seized of the whole estate, and neither of a part. The consequence was, that the husband's con-veyance alone would not have had any effect against his wife surviving him. The husband being seised of the whole estate during coverture either in his own right or jure uxoris, could of course part with that interest; but to make a complete conveyance of all the interests held in entirety, the wife must concur. Tenants by entireties were seised pre tout, and not per my et per tout. As a consequence of this doctrine if lands were given to a husband and his wife and a third person, the husband and wife, being reckoned only as one person, took one-half and the third person the other half; but under s. 37 of the (English) Law of Properties Act, 1925, the husband, wife and third person ...

Undivided shares in land
Undivided shares in land. Before 1926 a legal estate in undivided shares in land was held by joint tenants, tenants in common, coparceners, and by husband and wife as tenants by entireties (see those titles), but now by the Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 1 (6), a legal estate is not capable of subsisting or of being created in an undivided share inland, and by the same s. 1 (3) and ss. 34 (4), 205, and 1st Sch., Part IV., and cf. TRUST FOR SALE, such shares are to take effect as equitable interests only in the net proceeds of sale and of the rents and profits of the entirety of the land until sale, while the legal estate must be held by trustees for sale of the entire undivided property. It should be noticed that shares only are affected by these provisions.
