Hĕr'e-dĭt'a-ment, n.

n. [L. Lat. hereditamentum, Pr. heretamen, Sp. heredamiento. See supra.] (Law.) Any species of property that may be inherited; lands, tenements, any thing corporeal or incorporeal, real, personal, or mixed, that may descend to an heir. Blackstone.

☞ A corporeal hereditament is visible and tangible; an incorporeal hereditament is an ideal right, existing in contemplation of law, issuing out of substantial corporeal property.
