SETTLED LAND ACT 1882 - SECT 58



58.(1) Each person as follows shall, when the estate or interest of each of
them is in possession, have the powers of a tenant for life under this Act, as
if each of them were a tenant for life as defined in this Act (namely):

(i)A tenant in tail, including a tenant in tail who is by Act of Parliament
restrained from barring or defeating his estate tail, and although the
reversion is in the Crown, and so that the exercise by him of his powers under
this Act shall bind the Crown, but not including such a tenant in tail where
the land in respect whereof he is so restrained was purchased with money
provided by Parliament in consideration of public services:

(ii)A tenant in fee simple, with an executory limitation, gift, or disposition
over, on failure of his issue, or in any other event:

(iii)A person entitled to a base fee, although the reversion is in the Crown,
and so that the exercise by him of his powers under this Act shall bind the
Crown:

(iv)A tenant for years determinable on life, not holding merely under a lease
at a rent:

(v)A tenant for the life of another, not holding merely under a lease at a
rent:

(vi)A tenant for his own or any other life, or for years determinable on life,
whose estate is liable to cease in any event during that life, whether by
expiration of the estate, or by conditional limitation, or otherwise, or to be
defeated by an executory limitation, gift, or disposition over, or is subject
to a trust for accumulation of income for payment of debts or other purpose:

<(vii)A tenant in tail after possibility of issue extinct:


Para.(viii) rep. by 1955 c.24 (NI) s.46 sch.3

(ix)A person entitled to the income of land under a trust or direction for
payment thereof to him during his own or any other life, whether subject to
expenses of management or not, or until sale of the land, or until forfeiture
of his interest therein on bankruptcy or other event.

(2) In every such case, the provisions of this Act referring to a tenant for
life, either as conferring powers on him or otherwise, and to a settlement,
and to settled land, shall extend to each of the persons aforesaid, and to the
instrument under which his estate or interest arises, and to the land therein
comprised.

(3) In any such case any reference in this Act to death as regards a tenant
for life shall, where necessary, be deemed to refer to the determination by
death or otherwise of such estate or interest as last aforesaid.
