A competent livelihood of freehold for the wife ,
of lands and tenements ;
to take effect in profit or possession ,
presently after the death of the husband ,
for the life of the wife at least .
2 .
Jointures are regulated by the statute of 27 Hen .
VIII .
o .
10 ,
commonly called the statute of uses .
3 .
To make a good jointure ,
the following circumstances must concur ,
namely ;
1 .
It must take effect ,
in possession or profit ,
immediately from the death of the husband .
2 .
It must be for the wife '
s life ,
or for some greater estate .
3 .
It must be limited to the wife herself ,
and not to any other person in trust for her .
4 .
It must be made in satisfaction for the wife '
s whole dower ,
and not of part of it only .
5 .
The estate limited to the wife must be expressed or averred to be ,
in satisfaction of her whole dower .
6 .
It must be made before marriage .
A jointure attended with all these circumstances is binding on the widow ,
and is a complete bar to the claim of dower ;
or rather it prevents its ever arising .
But there are other .
modes of limiting an estate to a wife ,
which ,
Lord Coke says ,
are good jointures within the statute ,
provided the wife accepts of them after the death of the husband .
She may ,
however ,
reject them ,
and claim her dower .
