Vest
Burned, Revert, Vested
From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Burned, Revert, Vested (1): The fact that a church on lands donated to the parish, on condition of sustaining the church, burned down, the title did not revert to the grantor’s heirs.524 Also land granted a bishop for church uses, vested immediately in him and was not forfeited because it was not used for church purposes.525
