At common law, fee tail or entail is an estate of inheritance in real property which cannot be sold, devised by will, or otherwise alienated by the owner, but which passes by operation of law to the owner's heirs upon his death.

A life estate is a concept used in common law and statutory law to designate the ownership of land for the duration of a person's life.
