and his heirs

Read a random definition: face-amount certificate company

A quick definition of and his heirs:

An heir is someone who inherits property from a person who has died. They can be a family member or someone chosen in a will. There are different types of heirs, such as those who inherit real estate or personal property. Some heirs are guaranteed to inherit, while others may only inherit if certain conditions are met. The phrase "and his heirs" used to be required to transfer complete ownership of real estate.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: And his heirs refers to a person who is entitled to receive an intestate decedent's property. It can also refer to a person who inherits real or personal property, whether by will or by intestate succession. In civil law, it refers to a person who succeeds to the rights and occupies the place of, or is entitled to succeed to the estate of, a decedent, whether by an act of the decedent or by operation of law.

Example: A conveys Blackacre to B and his heirs. This phrasing originated in the translation of a Law French phrase used in medieval grants (a lui et a ses heritiers pour toujours “to him and his heirs forever”). This means that B and his heirs have complete ownership of the property.

Explanation: The example illustrates that the phrase "and his heirs" is used to transfer complete ownership of real estate to a person and their heirs. It means that the person and their heirs have the right to possess, use, and dispose of the property as they wish. This phrase is important in property law as it determines the extent of ownership and the rights of the owner and their heirs.

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM
18:27
dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before
Dkk
18:32
@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.
18:34
@wigwav: nah
TGM
18:34
like am I expected to send it unprompted or can I wait until a school requested it
Dkk
18:35
@TGM: Expected to send it unprompted but you can wait and see.
18:36
Is your LSAT also below median?
TGM
18:37
It’s above median, but I’m applying T6 with unimpressive softs, so even with a good LSAT it’s tough
texaslawhopefully
18:38
Yeah, then I would just wait as long as you can to send it
texaslawhopefully
18:38
For like HLS at least, if you wait till J6 then you may already have a decision
TGM
18:39
@texaslawhopefully: alas, haven’t even gotten an interview (applied around thanksgiving)
18:39
Yeah I would delay as long as you have plausible deniability
TGM
