The Transfer of Property Act of 1882 speaks of two kinds of interest- the vested interest and contingent interest. So let me share the definition of both these interests.

Vested Interest Meaning-

Vested interest is an interest in a property that is created in favour of a person without any specification. The person given the vested interest does not, however, enjoy any right over the property but can get it under a specified event. It is mentioned in Section 19 of the Transfer of Property Act

Contingent Interest Meaning-

Contingent interest is an interest that is created in favour of a person to whom the property is transferred. Such an interest depends on the happening of a specified uncertain event. This interest is mentioned in Section 21 of the Transfer of Property Act. I hope you have a basic understanding of what is contingent interest now.

What are some of the aspects of contingent interest?

There are some major aspects of contingent interest like-

  • The interest gets created in a person’s favour to whom the property is transferred. The interest depends upon the happening of a specified uncertain event.

  • The uncertain event may happen or may not

  • The right of enjoying the rights of the property depends on the happening of such an event

I hope you have understood the contingent interest definition clearly. Do note that there is a mere chance of having the ownership rights to the property in contingent interest. It totally depends on the transfer conditions.

This is all I can say about the contingent interest meaning.
