Equitable estates and interests
Equitable estates and interests, Rights relating to property of which the legal ownership is vested in another person, or in the equitable owner himself in another capacity. The rights arise whenever a person obtains a title to have the property or an estate or interest in it vested in himself, e.g., by contract or by any conveyance or assignment which does not by law transfer or vest the legal estate or ownership in the transferee, by mortgage or charge, and whenever a trust arises, either express, constructive, implied or by operation of law.

XII., r. 23]. And in an Admiralty action it rem any person not named in the writ may intervene and appear as heretofore on filing an affid...
