Escheat
Escheat 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://howjsay.com )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dictionary.com )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://merriam-webster.com )〕 is a common law doctrine which transfers the property of a person who dies without heirs to the crown or state. It serves to ensure that property is not left in "limbo" without recognized ownership. It originally applied to a number of situations where a legal interest in land was destroyed by operation of law, so that the ownership of the land reverted to the immediately superior feudal lord.
==Etymology==
The term "escheat" derives ultimately from the Latin ''ex-cadere'', to "fall-out", via mediaeval French ''escheoir''.〔Collins Dictionary of the English Language, London, 1986, p.520〕 The sense is of a feudal estate in land falling-out of the possession by a family into possession by the overlord.
