1. THIS agrmt is entd into by the vendor as tenant for life Vendor [limd owner], of the este known as the X. este, situate, &c., as tenant under the will, dated, &c., of Z., deced, & is intd to be carried for life.

(a) The Settled Land Act, 1882, s. 3 (iii.) and s. 4 (2, 5), authorises the tenant for life to make an exchange of the settled land or any part thereof for other land, including an exchange in consideration of money paid (i.e. by either party) for equality. The exchange may be subject to restrictions or reservations on either side, s. 4 (6); and by the Act of 1890, s. 5, extending s. 17 of the Act of 1882 (which applied only to mineral properties), easements or rights of any kind may be granted or reserved over or in relation to the settled land or the other land, or may be given or taken in exchange for land or any other easement or right. As to conveyances, see ss. 20, 24: and as to incumbrances, s. 5. Where the tenant for life is the owner of the land to be exchanged for the settled land, the trustees of the settlement are to stand in his place for the purpose of exercising the statutory powers; Act of 1890, s. 12. The general provisions stated p. 456 et seq. as to sales, conveyances, and re-investments, apply, as far as may be, to exchanges, except that (as pointed out at p. 463) s. 16 of the Act of 1890, extending the definition of "trustees of the settlement," does not apply to exchanges. By s. 18, money required for equality may be raised by mortgage; see a Precedent of such a mortgage in Vol. II., MORTGAGES.

(b) These expressions, although not strictly appropriate to an exchange, are used for convenience.
