' Heir, a person who succeeds by descent to an estate of in- heritance in land, or would have succeeded, if his ancestor had died intestate. There can be nu heir to a person who is living; but one whose right of inheritance is indefeasible, provided he outlive the ancestor, is style...d ixn heir apparent ; and one who would be the heir if the ancestor should die immediately, but whose right of inheritance may be defeated by tlic birth of some one nearer to him, is styled an heir presuniptioe. Heirs niay be further classified as heirs general, i.e., heirs at common law; customary heirs, i.e., tho=o who inherit by virtue of some custom peculiar to the place where they live (see Gavelkind, Borough English); ' eirs, special, i.e., those who mherit by vir- tue of limitations in the deed to the ancestor, as in the case of tail male (g.v.); heirs by will (haeres f actus), more commonly known as aevisees; and ultitnate heirs (uUirnus haeres), either the lord of the manor or the crown, to whom the land comes by escheat, or forfeiture, for want of proper heirs, or on account of treason or felony.
