Term: ex gravi querela
Definition: Ex gravi querela was a legal writ that allowed a person who was left land or property in a will to take legal action against the heir of the person who made the will. This was only possible if the land was in a city, town, or borough where it was allowed by custom. The writ was used when the heir entered and kept the land from the person who was supposed to inherit it. The writ was abolished in 1833 by the Real Property Limitation Act.
