entail

entail v. 限嗣(地产等的)继承;使(地产等)被限嗣继承 n.限嗣继承的地产;限定继承地产 旧时英国土地保有和继承的一种形式。即土地只能由土地被授予人或受赠人的特定继承人继承,而非其全部继承人都能继承。土地的限嗣继承在进行土地赠与时即可设立,如在赠与时确定该土地只能由受赠人和他的直系继承人继承,这样,土地就能在其家族中世代相传下去。限嗣继承土地的保有人〔tenant in tail〕不能处分该土地,如果受赠人死亡时无子女,或其继承人死亡时无子女,限嗣继承将终止,土地转归回复地产权人〔reversioner〕或剩余地产权人〔remainderman〕所有。土地的限嗣继承可以一般设定,如在赠与时写明土地给予某甲和他的直系继承人,没有更多的限制;也可以特别设定,如在赠与时写明土地给予某甲和由他的特定妻室所生的直系继承人。此外,这两种限嗣继承也都可以被设定为只允许男性继承人或只允许女性继承人继承。1925年以后,限嗣继承权益可以通过信托的形式在任何财产——包括动产和不动产——上设立。在苏格兰,1685年的法律确认了对土地可以进行限嗣继承,至1914年最终禁止设定新的限嗣继承土地。在美洲殖民地也曾存在过土地限嗣继承制度,但1776年弗吉尼亚首先予以废除,其后大多数州也都废除了。
