GRANT OF RENT-CHARGE.

THIS INDENTURE, made &c., BETWEEN A. B., of Parties.
&c., [intended husband], of the first part; C. D., of &c.,
[intended wife], of the second part; and E. F., of &c., and

G. H., of &c., [trustees], of the third part: WHEREAS a Recital of the
marriage hath been agreed upon, and is intended to be short- agreement for
marriage;
ly had and solemnized, between the said A. B. and C. D.;
AND WHEREAS, upon the treaty for the said intended mar- of the agree-
riage, it was agreed that the said A. B. should, in manner
hereinafter mentioned, grant and secure an annual sum or
yearly rent-charge of £ to the said C. D. and her as-
signs during her life, by way of jointure and in bar of

ment for the settlement.

ther settlement is intended.

(a) When it is intended to create a rent-charge with powers of distress Manner of creand entry, but without a term of years for securing the rent-charge, (see ating a jointure supra, p. 504, n. (k)); it is sufficient to create the rent-charge, and confer rent-charge, and securing the powers by way of grant. (Burton's Law of Real Property, Arts. the payment of 1102-1112). But if a term of years be required, the settlement must it, when no furbe made by lease and release, and the estates created by way of use in the usual manner. A life estate must be limited to the husband, followed by a limitation of the rent-charge, powers, and term, as in Precedent XVI., p. 501 et seq., with an ultimate limitation to the husband in fee. Powers of leasing and of sale and exchange must be added, which may overreach the jointure and the powers and terms, so as to give the husband the same control over the estate as he gets under an ordinary settlement. If the jointure be considerable, the latter method is to be followed; but otherwise, the short form in the text may be conveniently adopted.
