ENTAILED Meaning and
Definition
-
Entailed is a term that is generally used in the legal and property contexts to refer to the restriction or limitation placed upon the inheritance or transfer of property or assets. Specifically, it denotes a legal mechanism through which certain conditions or provisions are attached to the ownership or possession of an estate, typically land or significant assets, thereby determining how it can be passed down or sold. This concept is commonly associated with the requirements set forth in a will, trust, or other inheritance documents.
In practical terms, if a property is entailed, it means that its owner or beneficiary is legally obligated to adhere to certain predetermined conditions when transferring ownership to subsequent generations. These conditions might include restrictions on who can inherit or buy the property, efforts to ensure the preservation and maintenance of the property, or limitations on subdividing the land. Entailments are often intended to preserve family wealth, maintain properties within a lineage, or fulfill the wishes of the original owner beyond their lifetime.
The term "entailed" can also be used more broadly to indicate any situation where certain consequences or implications are inherently connected to a particular action or decision. In essence, it denotes that a specific outcome or required action is logically or inevitably linked to another event or circumstance.
