Escheat in Europe<\/h1>\n

Definition of Escheat<\/h2>\n

\n

The reversion of land to the lord of the fee or the Crown on failure of heirs of the owner dying intestate. It is derived from the feudal rule, that where an estate in fee-simple comes to an end, the land reverts to the lord by whose ancestors or predecessors the estate was originally created. Escheat was abolished by the Law of Property Act, 1922, and the right of the Crown to take as bona vacantia was substituted (Sched. 12)<\/p>\n<\/h4>\n
