freehold n. (1)完全保有地产(权);自由保有地产(权) 这种地产的持有者除了向其领主履行一定不带奴役性的役务〔service〕外,他有权自由、完全不受限制地占有处分其地产,如出租、抵押、转让等。与这种持有地相对的是非自由的农奴持有地——后为公簿持有地〔copyhold〕,和其它习惯保有方式,如肯特郡习惯土地保有〔gavelkind〕、幼子继承保有〔borough English〕和古有地保有〔ancient demesne〕。另外,今天与自由保有相对的是租地持有〔leasehold〕,后者指依契约在一定时期内持有地产,但却是一种动产性权益〔chattle interest〕。自由保有地有两个特征,即不动产性——如地产或地产性权益,和保有期间的不确定性。事实上的自由保有地产〔freehold in deed〕蕴含着对土地的实际占有,可分为非限嗣继承地产〔fee simple〕、限嗣继承地产〔fee tail〕和终身地产〔tenement for life〕;法律上的自由保有地产〔freehold in law〕是指继承人在被继承人死亡之后和自己进入土地之前所享有的地产权。另外,自由保有地依性质分为军役保有地〔knight service〕、侍君保有地〔serjeanty〕、农役保有地〔free socage〕和自由教役保有地〔frankalmoign〕。 (2)自由保有之职位 终身享有或可以继承。
