Inheritance, in law, an eftate in lands or tenements 
to a man and his heirs. And the word inheritance is not 
only intended where a man hath lands or tenements by 
delcent of heritage ; but alfo every fee-limple, or fee-tail, 
which a perfon hath by pure hale, may be faid to be an 
inheritance, becaufe his heirs may inherit it. Lit. § 9. 
And one may have inheritance by creation ; as in cafe of the 
king’s grant of peerage, by letters patent, &c. 
Inheritance is either corporeal or incorporeal. Corporeal 
inheritance relates to houfes, lands, &c. which may be 
touched or handled ; incorporeal inheritances are rights iflu- 
ing out of, annexed to, or exercifed with, corporeal in¬ 
heritances ; as advowfons, tithes, annuities, offices, com¬ 
mons, franchifes, privileges, fervices. See. 1 Inj't. 9, 49. 
See Hereditaments, vol. ix. p. 804. 
There is alfo Jeveral inheritance, which is where two or 
more hold lands feverally. If two men have lands given 
to them and the heirs of their two bodies, thefe have a 
joint eftate during their lives; but their heirs have feveral 
inheritances. Kitck. 155. Without blood none can inhe¬

fore the female; and of males the firft born, &c. And, 
as to inheritances, if a man purchafes land in fee, and dies

inherit, if there be any ; and, for want of fuch, the lands 
(hall go to the heirs of the mother’s fide; but, if it come 
to the Ion by defeent from the father, the heirs of t{ie 
mother (hall not inherit it. Plowd. 132. Lit. 4, 12. Goods
