Definition
The right to receive property that has escheated; income or profit derived from escheated lands or property.
Etymology
From escheat plus the suffix '-age' (denoting collective action or revenue). A legal term for the revenue stream lords received from unclaimed property.
Kelly Says
Escheatage was income for medieval lords—when a peasant died without heirs, the lord got the land and could rent it out or sell it. It was a hidden tax on the unlucky who had no family.
