advowson donative
an advowson in which the patron has the right to put a cleric in possession by a mere gift, or deed of donation, without any presentation to the bishop. 0 this type of advowson was converted into the advowson presentative by the benefices act of 1898. -also termed donative advowson. "an advowson donative is when the king, or any subject by his licence, doth found a church or chapel, and ordains that it shall be merely in the gift or disposal of the patron; subject to his visitation only, and not to that of the ordinary; and vested absolutely in the clerk by the patron's deed of donation, without presentation, institution, or induction. this is said to have been anciently the only way of conferring ecclesiastical benefices in england; the method of institution by the bishop not being established more early than the time of archbishop becket in the reign of henry ii." 2 william blackstone, commentaries on the lams of england 23 (1766).
