Mortgage
Mortgage [fr. mort, Fr., dead, and gage, pledge], a deed pledge; a thing put into the hands of a creditor.A mortgage is the creation of an interest in property, defeasible (i.e., annullable) upon performing the condition of paying a given sum of money, with interest thereon, at a certain time. This conditional assurance is resorted to when a debt has been incurred, or a loan of money or credit effected, in order to secure either the repayment of the one or the liquidation of the other. the debtor, or borrower, is then the mortgagor, who has charged or transferred his property in favour of or to the creditor or lender, who thus becomes the mortgagee.

Coparceners or parceners. The name given to persons who until 1926 inherited an inheritable estate by virtue of descents from the ancestor which conferred on them all an equal title to it. It arose by act of law only, i.e., by descent, which, in relation to this subject was of two kinds:-(1) Descent by the common law, which took place where an ancestor died intestate, leaving two or more females as his co-heiresses; these, according to the canon of real property inheritance, all took together as coparceners or parceners, the law of primogeniture not obtaining among women in equal relationship to their ancestor: they were, however, deemed to be one heir; and (2) descent by particular custom, as in the case of gavelkind lands, which descended to all the males in equal degree, as the sons, brothers, or uncles of the deceased intestate ancestor; in default of sons, they descended to all the daughters equally.Coparceners had a unity though not an entirety, or necessarily an equality, of int...
