Does the feudal system of title still exist?
The feudal system of title prefaced the decline of feudalism itself, beginning in the late 1200’s A.D. By about 1650 A.D., military tenure had been abolished, effectively ending the feudal system of title, although its influence still remains. Many of the relationships and concepts that characterize modern leases, tenancies, and estates are directly based on land tenures and the feudal system of title. Two present-day examples are the life estate and the landlord-tenant relationship.
