covenant to stand seised to use

COVENANT TO STAND SEISED TO USES. A species of conveyance which derives its 
effect from the statute of uses, and operates without transmutation of 
possession. 
      2. By this conveyance, a person seised of lands, covenant's that he 
will stand seised of them to the use of another. On executing the covenant, 
the other party becomes seised of the use of the land, according to the 
terms of the use; and the statute immediately annexes the possession to the 
use. This conveyance has the same force and effect as a common deed of 
bargain and sale; the great distinction between them is, that the former can 
only be made use of  among near domestic relations, for it must be founded 
on the consideration of blood or marriage. 2 Bl. Com. 338; 2 Bouv. Inst. n.
