31 Power to dispose of all rights and interests in land
(1) All rights and interests in land, including:
(a) a contingent, executory or future interest in land or a
possibility coupled with an interest in land, whether or not the
object of the gift or limitation of the interest or possibility is
ascertained; and
(b) a right of entry into or on land whether immediate or future and
whether vested or contingent,
may be disposed of.
(2) All rights of entry affecting a legal estate that are exercisable on
condition broken or for any other reason may, on the
commencement of this Act, be made exercisable by a person and
the persons deriving title under that person, except that in the case
of an estate in fee simple (not being a rent charge held for a legal
estate) the rights may be made exercisable only within the period
authorised by the rule relating to perpetuities.
