Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book examines the intricacies of devising land from the origination of devising practices through the passing of the Statute of Wills in the 16th century. Prior to the writing of this work, there was much confusion over what post-mortem conveyance of land was permissible. Anglo-Saxon wills granted the head of the household nearly complete power of disposal over land assets; however, with the introduction of feudalism, such power was significantly curtailed. The author details how the passing of mortmain and other statutes along with the emergence of ecclesiastical legal doctrines aimed to restore balance to devising customs. The author concludes by arguing that the book's subject has had a profound impact on the development of English law and could be of great interest to anyone seeking to better understand the history and complexities of devising land. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
