Uses
Uses (History). A use is the intention or purpose, express or implied, upon which property is to be held. The Common Law treated the actual possessor for all purposes as the owner of the property. It was not difficult to find him out, since the possession of his estate was conferred upon him by a formal and notorious ceremony, technically called livery of seisin, which was performed openly and in the presence of the people of the locality.It soon became evident that the simple rules of the Common Law were stumbling-blocks to the complicated wants of an enterprising people.Hence ingenuity was sharpened to hit upon a device which should set at nought the rigidity of existing law and formalities.A system was found by the monastic jurists upon a model furnished by the Civil Law, which, by a nice adaptation, evaded, without overturning, the Common Law. Two methods of transferring realty began to co-exist in this country-the ancient Common Law system, and the later invention, which is denomi...

Settled land

Acts, 1882-1890). Where the settlement consists of more instruments than one it is commonly called a 'compound settlement,' though this term is not defined in the Acts themselves; as to compound settlements, see Re Du Cane & Nettlefold, (1898) 2 Ch 96; Re Munday & Roper, (1899) 1Ch 275; Re Lord Wimborne & Browne (1904) 1 Ch 537; Wolstenholme & Cherry, Conveyancing, etc., Acts.Prior to 1856 settled estates could not be sold or leased except under the authority of some po...

Marshalling
Marshalling, the act of arranging or of putting into proper order.The doctrine of marshalling assets and securities depends upon the principle that a person, having two funds out of which to satisfy his demands, shall not, by his election, prejudice a person who has only one such fund. If, therefore, one who has a claim upon two funds resorts to the only fund upon which another has a claim, the latter stands in his place for so much against the fund to which otherwise he could not have access: the object being that every claimant shall be satisfied as far as, by any arrangement consistent with the nature of the several claims, the property which they seek to affect can be applied in satisfaction of such claims.In the administration of the estate of deceased persons, marshalling consists of arranging the assets so as to give effect to the priority of debts, as to legal assets on the one hand, and to the order of assets on the other. now that all the assets are liable to be applied for t...
