OBS: An estate in land may exist in one of three different ways: in possession, in remainder or in reversion. An estate in possession gives an immediate right to possession.... (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 47)
CONT: A remainder is ... described as limited to take effect, in possession, or in enjoyment, or in both, after the regular expiration of another estate. For a vested remainder has already taken effect in right or interest, and therefore it has only to take effect in possession or enjoyment, or in possession and enjoyment.
