A bequeaths to B "the rents of his lands at X", with nothing to limit the gift in time. What is B entitled to?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Illustration (iii) to section 172 holds that "B is entitled to the lands". Rents are the produce of the land, and where the produce of property is given without any sign that enjoyment is to be of limited duration, section 172 gives the legatee the principal as well. A life limit would arise only if the will expressed one.
