descent cast. Hist. The devolution of realty that has been acquired by disseisin, abatement, or intrusion, upon an heir whose ancestor died intestate. • This tolled the real owner’s right of entry until the owner brought a legal action. — Also termed descent which tolls entry.
disseisin n. 强占；(对不动产占有的)强夺；剥夺；非法剥夺对不动产的占有 指以非法驱逐的方式排斥或剥夺他人对地产、出租房屋或其他继承财产事实上占有的行为。它不同于侵夺〔abatement〕和侵入〔intrusion〕，后两者指非法侵入无人占有的地产或房屋，即法律上的强占〔ouster in law〕。「disseisin」则是指通过驱逐实际占有人而实现对事实占有的强夺，即事实上的强占〔ouster in deed〕。被强占者享有进占权〔right of entry〕和诉讼权〔right of action〕。选择强占〔disseisin by election〕是指在强占行为实际上并未发生的情况下，当事人声称遭到了强占，但其目的只是为了取得更为简捷的新侵占之令〔writ of assize of novel disseisin〕。衡平法上的强占〔equitable disseisin〕指权利人被非法剥夺了衡平法上的占有，即地租和其他收益。对无形的可继承财产的强占〔disseisin of incorporeal hereditaments〕因为无形的可继承财产不能事实上占有，因而仅指对权利人享有权利的干扰和妨碍。因诉讼格式的废除，强占和其他非法剥夺、侵占他人对土地占有的行为的区别已没有实际意义，并已被废除。 (→seisin; dispossession; abatement; intrusion)
estate n. (2)状况；社会地位；社会等级；社会阶层 一个人或一个阶层的人在社会中所处的境况或地位，系该词的最广含义。例如，在中世纪英国的议会中，成员根据其社会地位分为教士、贵族、平民三个等级，称为「三级」〔three estates〕或「王国各阶层」〔estates of the realm〕；而法国的「三级会议」也就是全国各阶层代表的大会。 (3)地产权；地产；土地；供役地 指一个人在与土地的关系中所处的地位，或他相对于土地的关系，包括其对土地享有的不同种类、不同程度的权利；在口语中则引申为土地本身。在英格兰封建法中，除国王之外任何人都不能成为土地的绝对所有人，他所享有的只能是一项地产权或对土地的有限权益，由此产生了地产保有制度。在1925年《财产法》〔Law of Property Act〕生效之前，普通法上的地产权根据保有程度〔quantity of estate〕分为完全保有地产权〔estate of freehold〕与非完全保有地产权〔estate less than freehold〕两大类。其中完全保有地产权分为可继承地产权〔estate of inheritance〕与不可继承地产权〔estate not of inheritance〕。前者包括非限定继承地产权〔estate in fee simple〕、限定继承地产权〔estate in fee tail或estate tail〕和嫁资地产权〔estate in frankmarriage〕。后者又分为：１约定地产权〔convention estate〕，即通过当事人的协议设定的地产权，包括终身保有地产权〔estate for life〕和在他人生存期间保有的地产权〔estate pur autre vie〕；２法定地产权〔legal estate或estate created by construction or operation of law〕，即根据法律享有的或在法律上被承认并可强制执行的地产权，包括有后嗣可能性消失后的限定继承地产权〔estate of a tenant in tail after possibility
