Settlement in Europe<\/h1>\n

Definition of Settlement<\/h2>\n

\n

The instrument by which land is settled. A compound settlement is the description of a number of documents, e.g., deeds and wills, extending over a period, by means of which land is settled.
A marriage or ante-nuptial settlement is an instrument executed before a marriage, and wholly or partly in consideration of it, for the purpose of regulating the enjoyment and devolution of real or personal property.
A strict settlement is one which is designed to retain estates in the family. It proceeds to make provision for the wife by securing the payment to her of two annuities ; the one, pin-money, payable during her husband’s lifetime; the other, a jointure, payable after his death. Secondly, to provide for the payment of gross sums of money portions to such of the younger children of the marriage as attain majority. Thirdly, to provide that the property ao charged should go as a whole to the eldest son.
A voluntary settlement is one not made for valuable consideration.
The settlement of a pauper is the place where he has acquired a right to permanent relief<\/p>\n<\/h4>\n
