A quick definition of writ of escheat:

A writ of escheat is a legal document that allows a lord to take possession of lands that have been abandoned or left without an owner. It was used in the past to ensure that land did not go unused and to maintain the power of the lord over their territory.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A writ that allows a lord to take possession of lands that have escheated to him.

Example: In medieval times, if a tenant died without an heir or if the tenant committed a felony, the land would escheat to the lord. The lord could then use a writ of escheat to take possession of the land.

This example illustrates how a writ of escheat was used in medieval times to allow a lord to take possession of land that had escheated to him. The writ was a legal tool that helped lords maintain control over their lands.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.

babycat

I could never imagine myself doing that on a first date.

Dkk

15:01

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: hope things get better

Dkk

Sleeping on the first date just isn't my style, idk. I take things painfully slowly and much prefer to befriend and really get to know a girl first before doing any of that
