La mutation consécutive au décès du tenancier exige une dévestiture entre les mains du seigneur des terres, qui sera suivie d'une nouvelle investiture.

La procédure a lieu dans le cadre d'une assemblée judiciaire de la ‘court baron’ ou cour baroniale (lat. ‘curia baronis’), ici celle du manoir de Southall, pour des biens situés à Great Gaddesden (Herts.).
