Real representative. The name formerly given to a personal representative on whom real estate devolved on the death of any person between the 31st December, 1897, and the 1st January, 1926, under the provisions of the (English) Land Transfer Act, 1897.Prior to the commencement on the 1st of January, 1898, of the (English) Land Transfer Act, 1897 [see (English) TRANSFER OF LAND ACTS], the real estate of a deceased person vested in his heir, heiresses, or devisees, and his personal estate in his executors or administrators.

Real action
Real action, one brought for the specific recovery of lands, tenements, and hereditaments.Among the civilians, real actions, otherwise called vindications, are those in which a man demanded something that was his own. They were founded on dominion, or jus in re.The real actions of the Roman Law were not, like the real actions of the Common Law, confined to real estate, but they included personal as well as real property. But the same distinction as to classes of remedies and actions pervades the Common and Civil Law. Thus we have, in the Common Law, the distinct classes of real actions, personal actions, and mixed actions--the first, embracing those which concern real estate where the proceeding is purely in rem; the next, embracing all suits in personam for contracts and torts; and the last embracing those mixed suits where the person is liable by reason of and in connection with property, Story's Confl. Laws, 781.By the (English) Real Property Limitation Act, 1833 (3 & 4 Wm. 4, c. 27...
