Tailzie

__NOTOC__

Definition

Tailzie "(Scots law)": The feudal concept of the inheritance of immovable property according to an arbitrary course that has been laid out, such as in a document known as a "deed of tailzie".

"Tailzie" is similar to the common law concept of fee tail, as the "heir in "tailzie" is entailed to the property. An "heir in "tailzie" could not sell the property so inherited, except to the feu superior (that is, to the holder the dominum directum of the feu).

Alternate spellings: "tailie", "taillie", "tailze", "tailyie", "tailye", "taylzie", "teally", "teilzie", "telyie", "teylyie" "tyle", "talyee".
From Old French: "tailler" (to cut) and "taille" (a cutting).

Additional explanations

The Entail Amendment Act 1848 gave an "heir in "tailzie" the power to apply to the Court of Session to remove the "deed of "tailzie" and take possession of the estate through fee simple. Part 5 of the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000 disentailed all entailed land in Scotland and required the Keeper of the Registers of Scotland to close the Register of Entails.
