Talk:Feoffee

An ENGLISH LAW enacted in 1535 to end the practice of creating uses in real property by changing the purely equitable title of those entitled to a use into absolute ownership with the right of possession.

I just found this, and it is incorrect. The English Law ended the feoffees, stripping them of the right to the equity in the property they were assigned to manage for the real Beneficiaries. Ipswich MA is dealing with this misnomer: best translation of feoffee is Trustee.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Feoffee, or more correctly within this context feoffee to uses, is a historical term relating to the law of trusts and equity, referring to the owner of a legal title of a property when he is not the equitable owner. Feoffees essentially had their titles stripped by the Statute of Uses 1535, whereby the legal title to the property being held by the feoffee was transferred to their cestui que use, however, the term is still in use today for the governors of Chetham's Library in Manchester.[1] The modern equivalent of a feoffee to uses is the trustee, one who holds a legal and managerial ownership in trust for the enjoyment of the beneficiary.
