discontinuor

Read a random definition: pro posse suo

A quick definition of discontinuor:

Term: DISCONTINUOR

Definition: A discontinuor is someone who has inherited a piece of land or property that is entailed, meaning it can only be passed down to certain heirs. If the discontinuor sells or transfers the property to someone who is not an allowed heir, it causes a discontinuance, which means the property is no longer entailed and can be passed down to anyone.

Example: John inherited a piece of land that was entailed to only be passed down to his children. However, he sold the land to his friend who was not an allowed heir, making him a discontinuor and causing a discontinuance of the entailed property.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A discontinuor is a person who is a tenant in tail and conveys the entailed estate, which results in a discontinuance. This means that the property is no longer entailed and can be passed on to someone else.

Example: John inherited a property that was entailed, which meant that he could not sell or transfer it without the permission of the court. However, John decided to sell the property to his friend without seeking the court's permission. In doing so, John became a discontinuor because he broke the rules of the entailment and caused a discontinuance.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a tenant in tail can become a discontinuor by conveying the entailed estate without following the proper legal procedures. This action results in the property no longer being entailed and can be passed on to someone else. In this case, John's friend became the new owner of the property, and John lost his rights to it.

Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
