Traip, 14 Gray, 330, says: "We are not, however, disposed to question the power of an owner in fee, who has the general jus disponendi, to create a term for five or five hundred years, to commence in futuro, even after his own decease so as in effect substantially to alienate the entire value of the estate, and thus, when the descent should be cast, subject the estate to the incumbrance of the term.”
