At the present day an entailed interest cannot arise in any kind of property unless an appropriate technical phrase (such as ‘in tail’ or ‘and the heirs of his body’) is used by the deed or will which seeks to create the entail. Prior to the Law of Property Act, 1925, entailed interests were impossible in personal property, but could be created in real property either by deed or by will. If created by deed, technical words of limitation were essential. In a will, however, technical phrases were unnecessary, provided that the will showed a sufficiently clear intention to confer an entailed interest upon the devisee.
