Forms: Middle English–1600s eschet(e, (Middle English echete, escheyte, Middle English eshete, eþchete), Middle English–1600s escheate, 1500s–1600s Scottish escheit(te, 1500s–1600s excheat(e, -chete, 1500s– escheat. See also cheat n.¹ 1

Etymology: Middle English eschete, < Old French eschete, eschaete, escheoite, noun of action (originally feminine past participle), < Old French escheoir (modern French échoir) < late Latin *excadēre (classical Latin excidĕre) to fall to a person's share, < Latin ex out + cadĕre (vulgar Latin cadēre, Old French cheoir) to fall. In continental Old French the noun meant succession, inheritance, esp. collateral inheritance; in England the etymological sense received a different application. As in many other words (compare exchange) the prefix es- was in the 16–17th cent. often replaced by ex- after Latin analogies.

I. Law.

a. An ‘incident’ of feudal law, whereby a fief reverted to the lord when the tenant died without leaving a successor qualified to inherit under the original grant. Hence, the lapsing of land to the Crown (in U.S., to the state), or to the lord of the manor, on the death of the owner intestate without heirs.As an attainted person, according to the doctrine of ‘corruption of blood’ (see attainder n.), could have no legal heir, his property suffered escheat. This ‘escheat by corruption of blood’, theoretically distinct from the ‘forfeiture’ inflicted as a penalty for treason and felony, was abolished together with the latter by the Felony Act, 1870.
