Settled land. For the purposes of the (English) Settled Land Acts, 1882-1890, 'settled land' meant land, and any estate and interest therein, which was the subject of a settlement; and 'settlement' meant any instrument, or any number of instruments, under which any land, or any estate or interest in land, 'stands for the time being limited to or in trust for any persons by way of succession' (Settled Land Act, 1882, s. 2) (see infra for the statutory definitions in the Settled Land Act, 1925, which has repealed the S.L. Acts, 1882-1890).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...

Settled possession
Settled possession, there is no special charm or magic in the word 'settled possession' nor is it a ritualistic formula which can be confined in a straitjacket but it has been used to mean such clear and effective possession of a person, even if he is a trespasser, who gets the right under the criminal law to defend his property against attack even by the true owner, Puran Singh v.

Marriage settlement
Marriage settlement, an arrangement made before marriage, and in consideration of it (the highest consideration known to the law), whereby real or personal property is settled for the benefit of the husband and wife and the issue of the marriage. There is an express saving for such a settlement in s. 19 of the (English) Married Women's Property Act, 1882, and see the (English) Married Women's Property Act, 1907 (7 Edw. 7, c. 1), invalidating a settlement made by a female infant unless confirmed after attaining 21, but without prejudice to settlements under the Infants Settlement Act, 1855 (see post, MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY).Although the policy of the land legislation of 1924 was to assimilate the law of real property to that of personalty as far as possible, marriage settlements of land (not being effected by way of trust for sale), and if providing for infant or for a succession of interests in land or charging land (but in this case subject to the (English) Law of Property Amendment...

An estate-tail was formerly a freehold of inheritance and is now an equitable interest which may be created after 1925 in respect of personalty as well as realty by way of trust and which (if not barred or disposed of by will after 1925) will devolve inequity on the person who would have taken realty as heir of the body or as tenant by the curtesy if the Law of Property Act, 1925, had not been passed [s. 130 (4) (ibid.)]The limitation of an estate so that it can be inherited only by the fee owner's issue or class of issue, Black's Law dictionary 7th Edn., p. 1466.An estate-tail in land now constitutes a settlement.

Money land
Money land. In equity, land articled or devised to be sold, and turned into money, is considered as money, and money articled or bequeathed to be invested in land, has, inequity, many of the qualities of real estate, and is descendible and devisable as such according to the rules of inheritance in other cases, and this upon the ground that equity regards substance and not form, and will further the intention of parties.By s. 75(5), (English) Settled Land Act, 1925, replacing Settled Land Act, 1882, s. 26 (5), capital money arising under that Act while remaining uninvested or unapplied and investments hereof are for all purposes of disposition, transmission and devolution to be treated as land and shall be held for and go to the same persons successively in the same manner and for and on the same estates, interests and trusts as the land wherefrom the money arises would, if not disposed of, have been held and have gone under the settlement, and see s. 78 (ibid.), as to personal estate s...
