general occupant.
A person who occupies land in the interim arising after the death of a pur autre vie tenant but before the death of the person who serves as the measuring life for the estate. ( A general occupancy can arise when the grant to the pur autre vie tenant does not state who may occupy the land after the death of the first tenant. Because no heir is named, the land can be occupied by the first possessor of the land. -Also termed common occupant. Cf. CESTUI QUE VIE.
