disentailing deed

Hist. A tenant in tail’s assurance that the estate tail will be barred and converted into an estate in fee.

• The Fines and Recoveries Act (3 & 4 Will. 4 ch. 74) introduced this way of barring an entail. It authorized nearly every tenant in tail, if certain conditions were met, to dispose of the land in fee simple absolute and thus to defeat the rights of all persons claiming under the tenant.
