de escaeta

Read a random definition: substantive due process

A quick definition of de escaeta:

De Escaeta is a legal term that means when a person who owns land dies without any heirs, the land goes back to the lord who originally gave it to them. This is called escheat. Sometimes, if a person dies without a will or any legal heirs, their property can also go back to the state. This is called an heirless estate. In the past, this was a feudal law, but it doesn't exist anymore.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: de escaeta
Definition: De escaeta is a legal term that refers to a writ that allows a lord to regain ownership of land when their tenant dies without an heir. This is called escheat. Escheat can also refer to the reversion of property to the state when the owner dies without a will or legal heirs.
Examples: If a lord had a tenant who died without any children or relatives to inherit their land, the lord could use a de escaeta writ to regain ownership of the land. In modern times, if someone dies without a will or any known heirs, their property may escheat to the state. For example, if a person dies without a will and no one comes forward to claim their property, the state may take possession of it through escheat.
