General Words in United Kingdom

Definition of General Words

In accordance with the work A Dictionary of Law, this is a description of General Words : Words in a *conveyance describing rights and benefits that are incidental to the land (such as easements and profits à prendre) and that are conveyed with it. Under the Law of Property Act 1925 such words are no longer necessary, since a conveyance of land is deemed to include all such ancillary rights unless a contrary intention is expressed in the document.
