See: possessions, property HEREDITAMENTS, estates. Anything capable of being inherited, be it corporeal
or incorporeal, real, personal, or mixed and including not only lands and
everything thereon, but also heir looms, and certain furniture which, by
custom, may descend to the heir, together with the land. Co. Litt. 5 b; 1
Tho. Co. Litt. 219; 2 Bl. Com. 17. By this term such things are denoted, as
may be the subject-matter of inheritance, but not the inheritance itself; it
cannot therefore, by its own intrinsic force, enlarge an estate, prima facie
a life estate, into a fee. 2 B. & P. 251; 8 T. R. 503; 1 Tho. Co. Litt. 219,
note T.
