Land Law - contingent remainders - construction - presumption in
favour of vested remainders - limitation read as contingent remainder
only if clearly testator's intention: A limitation in a will should not be
read as being a contingent remainder unless this clearly appears to be the
testator's intention and if it admits of being considered as a vested
remainder it will always be read as such; so when a devise is made to A
for life and on his death to the heir male of his body, and in default of
such heir male to the testator's own heir general, the remainder will vest
in the person who is the testator's heir general at the date of the death
of the testator; when A himself is such person, he will take an estate in
fee.simple.
