Possibility in Europe
Definition of Possibility
A future event, the happening of which is uncertain ; an interest in land which depends on the happening of such an event. A possibility is said to be either bare or coupled with an interest. Thus, the expectation of an eldest son of succeeding to his father’s land is a bare possibility, which is not capable of transfer. If land is conveyed to A for life, and if C should be living at his death, then to B in fee, B’fi contingent remainder is a possibility coupled with an interest, which may be transferred.
The rule against ” double possibilities ” is the rule of law prohibiting the limitation, after a life interest to an unborn person, of an interest in land to the unborn child or other issue of an unborn person. It is abolished by the Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 161
