The word, heirs, is necessary in the grant or donation in order to make a fee, or inheritance. For if land be given to a man for ever, or to him and his assigns for ever, this vests in him but an estate for life.... [This rule] does not extend to devises by will; in which, as they were introduced at the time when the feodal rigor was apace wearing out, a more liberal construction is allowed : and therefore by a devise to a man for ever, or to one and his assigns for ever, or to one in fee-simple, the devisee hath an estate of inheritance; for the intention of the devisor is sufficiently plain from the words of perpetuity annexed, though be hath omitted the legal words of inheritance. But if the devise be to a man and his assigns, without annexing words of perpetuity, there the devisee shall take only an estate for life; for it does not appear the devisor intended any more....(Blackstone, Book II, p. 107-108)  1, record 1, English, - words%20of%20perpetuity

"The rule against perpetuities is not dealing with the duration of interests but with their commencement, and so long as the interest vests within lives in being and twenty-one years it does not matter how long that interest lasts. "That is to say, the perpetuity rule does not invalidate a limitation merely because it provides that an interest shall cease at some future date outside the perpetuity period.(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 244).  1, record 4, English, - perpetuity%20rule

At common law... a legal contingent remainder failed altogether unless it vested during the continuance, or at the determination, of the preceding particular estate. A single legal contingent remainder was accordingly bound to vest if at all, during or at the end of a life in being, and so could not offerred the perpetuity rule.(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 248)  1, record 5, English, - legal%20contingent%20remainder

Under the common law rule, a class gift had to be able to vest within the perpetuity period in its entirety. If the interests of some members might vest outside the period, even though the interests of other members would vest in time, the gift was wholly void. The statutes, however, provide that in such a situation the class may be split, by excluding those persons whose interests do not in fact vest in time. As at common law, the class closing rules are permitted to operate first and they may save the gift. Under the statutes one then uses the wait and see principle and the age reduction provision. After that class splitting is permitted.(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 536).  1, record 8, English, - class%20splitting
