The Principles of Vesting in the Law of Succession is a legal treatise written by Robert Candlish Henderson and first published in 1905. The book explores the concept of ""vesting"" in the context of inheritance law, which refers to the transfer of property ownership from a deceased person to their heirs or beneficiaries. Henderson examines the various legal principles and rules that govern vesting, including the distinction between vested and contingent interests, the effect of conditions and limitations on vesting, and the role of trustees in managing and distributing assets. He also discusses the historical development of vesting in English law and analyzes the ways in which it has been modified and adapted over time.The book is aimed at legal practitioners, scholars, and students interested in the law of succession, and provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the principles of vesting in this area of law. It is written in a clear and accessible style, with numerous examples and case studies to illustrate the concepts discussed. Despite its age, the book remains a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the legal principles that underpin inheritance law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
