Definition of DESCENT CAST
The devolving of realty upon the heir on the death of his ancestor intestate.
Another name for what the older writers called a "descent which tolls entry." When a person had acquired land by disseisin, abatement, or intrusion, and died seised of the land, the descent of it to his heir took away or tolled the real owner's right of entry, so that he could only recover the land by an action. Co.Litt. 237 b; Rap. & L. Dict.
