| 单词 | escheat |
| 释义 | escheat escheat in feudal law, the reversion to the immediate feudal superiorwhere the owner of an estate in fee died without heirs. In England and Wales, the last vestiges of the law of escheat were abolished in 1925; now land that becomes ownerless on the death of its owner goes to the Crown as BONA VACANTIA. In the USA it is generally the case that land will escheat to the state or county if the owner dies intestate and no heirs are discoverable. See ULTIMUS HAERES. |
