The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
Those which relate to land. So called to distinguish them from those which are collateral to it. These powers are appendant; as, where a tenant for life has a power of makmg leases in possession. They are in gross when a person has an estate in the land, with a power of appointment, the execution of which falls out of the compass of his pointee out of an interest appointed in the appointor.
