单词 | Remainder |
释义 | 剩餘 That which is left over or unaccounted for; it may refer to property or to time. Real property - A future interest which arises in favour of a person other than the settlor after the natural determination of a prior interest of limited duration. The interest remains away from the settlor rather than reverting back to him. For instance, if after the grant of a life interest the settlor directs that the interest should pass to a third person, a remainder is created. In Hong Kong, the prior estate or interest before the remainder is usually a life estate. The life interest, together with the remainder and any reversion to the settlor, comprises the whole original estate of the settlor. Contrary to a reversion, a remainder does not arise by operation of law but by express grant. In addition, while a reversion is always vested, a remainder may be vested or contingent. All remainders in Hong Kong are equitable: Nield Hong Kong Land Law (2nd Ed, Longman) ch 8 p 186. See also Contingent remainder; Future estate; Reversion; Vested interest. Succession - What is left after other property has been disposed of. In considering when representation with respect to the estate of a deceased person was first taken out, a grant limited to part only of the estate shall be left out of account unless a grant limited to the remainder of the estate has previously been made or is made at the same time: Wills Ordinance (Cap 30) s 23A(4). 留下的或不能解釋的事物;可指財物或時間。 |
