Terms Used In Tennessee Code 66-1-105
- Common law: The legal system that originated in England and is now in use in the United States. It is based on judicial decisions rather than legislative action.
- Remainder: An interest in property that takes effect in the future at a specified time or after the occurrence of some event, such as the death of a life tenant.
It shall not be necessary, as at common law, that a contingent remainder be supported by a particular estate of the dignity of a freehold, but it shall be sufficient and lawful for contingent remainders to be supported by a preceding estate for years.
