cesser
n. The premature termination of some right or interest. For example, if land is held in trust for A for life so long as he does not marry and then for B, there is a cesser of A’s life interest if he marries. A mortgage by demise (granting of a lease) provides for cesser on redemption: thus the tenancy ends whenever the debt is repaid.
