/ɪˈsteɪt ɪn əˈbeɪəns/ – Phrase
Definition: di sản vô thừa nhận.
A more thorough explanation: a legal term used to describe a situation where ownership of property is temporarily suspended or uncertain. It occurs when there is no identifiable person who can currently hold the title to the property. This often happens in cases of inheritance where the exact heir is undetermined, such as when a remainder is granted to the heirs of a living person.
Example: A grants a life estate to B, with remainder to the heirs of C. If C is still alive when B dies, the remainder is in abeyance because C has no heirs until their death. The property is essentially in a state of limbo until C passes away and their heirs can be determined.
