The Settled Land Act 1882 aimed to modernise and simplify the law concerning the management and sale of settled land, which is land held in trust typically for the benefit of successive generations. The Act provided broader powers to life tenants, enabling them to sell, lease, or otherwise manage the estate more effectively for its benefit. This legislation sought to make land more commercially viable, reducing the rigidity and restrictions that previously plagued land ownership and inheritance, thereby fostering economic development and more efficient use of land resources.
