separate estate (1)单独财产 指处于婚姻关系或商事关系的多人之中某一人的个人财产，区别于彼此间的共有财产或具有共同利益的财产。 (2)已婚妇女的特有财产在英国，普通法不允许已婚妇女占有独立于其丈夫以外的任何财产，如将某项财产归其单独使用和受益，则就该财产而言，衡平法需将该已婚妇女视为未婚妇女〔feme sole〕。妻子的特有财产可通过与其丈夫订立婚前契约〔pre-nuptial〕或由丈夫或他人赠与的方式而取得。1882年《已婚妇女财产法》〔Married Women’s Property Act〕几乎完全取消了普通法在财产问题上对已婚妇女和未婚妇女的区分。1935年《(已婚妇女与侵权人)改革法》〔Law Reform (Married Women and Tortfeasors)Act〕规定：已婚妇女有能力取得、持有和处分财产，对合同或侵权行为承担责任，受破产法的调整和法院判决及命令的执行，其范围与未婚妇女相同。1962年《(丈夫与妻子)改革法》〔Law Reform (Husband and Wife) Act〕亦有同样的修改。 (→community property; separate property; anticipation; coverture)
