The reversion of property to the state
or some agency of the state in the event
that the owner dies leaving no will and
having no legally qualified heir to whom the
property may pass by lawful descent.
Escheat remains as one of few examples
in existence today of the old tenurial
relationship. The owner, as tenant to the
Crown who retains paramount claim to all
land within the realm, is not able to
fulfill the services required during tenure.
Therefore, the land escheats to the lord and
original grantor.
