Shelley's case

Read a random definition: interdictum quod vi aut clam

A quick definition of Shelley's case:

Shelley's case: This is a legal rule that helps determine who inherits property when someone dies. It says that if a person leaves property to someone "for life" and then to their heirs, the person who receives the property for life will also inherit it outright when they die. This means that the property will not pass to the heirs of the person who received it for life. The rule is named after a court case that established it in England in the 16th century.

A more thorough explanation:

Shelley's case refers to a legal rule that determines how property is passed down to heirs in certain situations. The rule states that if a person leaves property to another person "for life" and then to that person's heirs, the property will actually go directly to the heirs instead of the person who was supposed to have it for life.

For example, if a grandfather leaves his house "to his grandson for life, and then to his heirs," the grandson will not actually have the house for his lifetime. Instead, the grandson's children (the heirs) will inherit the house immediately upon the grandfather's death.

This rule can have important implications for estate planning and inheritance, as it can affect who ultimately receives property and when they receive it.
