LUNACY REGULATION (IRELAND) ACT 1871 - SECT 81

High Court in matters of lunacy, enabled to empower committees of estates to grant leases binding on issue or remaindermen.

81. Where a lunatic is seised of or entitled to land in tail, and it appears
to [the High Court] to be for his benefit, the committee of the estate may in
the name and on behalf of the lunatic, under order of [the High Court], make
any such leases of the land or any part thereof as in the last three preceding
sections of this Act are mentioned, and every such lease shall be good and
effectual in law against the lunatic and his heirs, and all persons claiming
the lands entailed by force of any estate tail which shall be vested in such
lunatic, and also against all persons, including the Queen's most Excellent
Majesty, her heirs and successors, whose estates are to take effect after the
determination of or in remainder or reversion expectant upon such estate tail,
according to such estate as is comprised and specified in every such lease, in
like manner as the same would have been good and effectual in law if the
lunatic at the time of the making of such leases had been lawfully seised of
the same lands comprised in such lease of a pure estate in fee simple to his
own use, and had been of sound mind, and not the subject of a commission of
lunacy, and had himself granted such lease; and every person to whom from time
to time the reversion expectant upon the lease shall belong after the death of
the lunatic shall and may have such and the like remedies and advantages, to
all intents and purposes, against the lessee, his executors, administrators,
and assigns, as the lunatic or his committee would or might have had against
him or them.
