Fee Tail, Estate in, a binding arrangement for family estates based on 
a contractual endowment. The family estate of the nobility (mainly 
real property) was to remain in the hands of one family member, the 
holder of the estate was limited in his/her testamentary dispositions 
over the family estate. The goal was to secure the position of the 
family in society and to form a legal basis for the estate and the 
family for generations. The fee tail estate was abolished in Austria 
in 1919.
