Entail Provisions Act 1824

1824 CHAPTER 87 5 Geo 4

An Act to authorize the proprietors of entailed estates in Scotland to grant provisions to the wives or husbands and children of such proprietors.

[21st June 1824]

And whereas sundry entails of lands and estates in Scotland contain no powers in regard to the granting of provisions to the wives or husbands and children of the proprietors thereof; and in many other entails, by reason of the change in the value of money, the improved value of lands and estates in Scotland, and other causes, the powers of granting provisions to the wives or husbands and children of the proprietors of such entailed estates have become entirely inadequate for those purposes; and it has become expedient that the powers of granting such provisions should be conferred or enlarged, as the case may be, under certain regulations and conditions, in all entails already made or hereafter to be made:
