BASE See also:FEE , in See also:law, a See also:freehold See also:estate of See also:inheritance which is limited or qualified by the existence of certain conditions. In See also:modern See also:property law the commonest example of a base fee is an estate created by a See also:tenant in tail, not in See also:possession, who bars the See also:entail without the consent of the See also:protector of the See also:settlement. Though he bars his own issue, he cannot See also:bar any See also:remainder or reversion, and the estate (i.e. the base fee) thus created is deter-minable on the failure of his issue in tail. An, example of this See also:kind of estate was introduced by See also:George See also:Eliot into the See also:plot of See also:Felix See also:Holt. Another example of a base fee is an estate descendible to heirs See also:general, but terminable on an uncertain event; for example, a See also:grant of See also:land to A and his heirs, tenants of the See also:manor of See also:Dale. The estate terminates whenever the prescribed qualification ceases. An See also:early meaning of base feg was an estate held not by See also:free or military service, but by base service, i.e. at the will of the See also:lord.
