Legal Terms - Entailed interest
An *equitable interest in land that restricts ownership to a single individual and his heirs (either generally or members of a particular class). The law of intestacy as it existed before to the Administration of Estates Act of 1925 still applies to these heirs. No new entailed interests can be formed after 1997.

Legal Terms – Entry possession
entering a piece of land and claiming ownership of it. For instance, in the event that a tenant breaches the terms of the lease or fails to pay rent, the landlord often has the right to enter and take possession. If a defaulting mortgagee is in possession, the mortgagee has the right to reclaim it. Generally speaking, unless the court directs the defaulter to relinquish possession, such rights of entry cannot be enforced.
