The Rule in Strong v Bird | Fortuitous Vesting | Equity & Trusts

Subscribe to my personal channel for videos on how to study law effectively & efficiently:    / @heygarethevans   When a person dies, their property becomes the property of their executors. If a person is an executor of the estate and a debtor of the testator, they cannot, as executor of the estate, bring an action against themselves as debtor. This means that any debts owed by an executor are, under Common Law, unenforceable.

In Equity, the rule in Strong v Bird provides that the debt is released only if that was the intention of the testator; and the intention continued until the date of death.
