A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In manu mortua is a legal term that means "in a dead hand." It refers to property that is perpetually controlled according to a decedent's directions.

For example, land held by a religious society was described this way because the church could hold property perpetually without rendering feudal service. This means that the property would remain under the control of the church even after the original owner had died.
