(a) When the parties are not in a situation to make a conveyance or assignment of the property intended to be settled, so as to vest it in the trustees, the instrument of settlement is generally termed the " Articles for a settlement." This distinction, however, is, for the most part, nominal marriage. when applied to personal estate. For a settlement of the personal estate of an infant, or other person who cannot assign, differs or should differ from an ordinary settlement in no other respect than in substituting an agreement to assign for an actual assignment; the trusts and powers should be the same. It is very seldom necessary, now that a deed to bar an entail can be executed at any time, to execute articles of real estate; but when such an instrument is required, the powers should be set out at length, precisely as in a settlement, and the uses and trusts should be formally declared as in a settlement, with the difference, that the shorter language of wills may be employed for this purpose, because articles are construed according to the same rules as wills.
