She's a widow, not a wife.
It had to do with the marriage contract and the fact that Lady Catherine de Bourgh isn't married: she's widowed. Widowed women could own property.
Women like Lady Catherine Fitzwilliam (to give her maiden name) were married off under contracts. A standard contract would pass land along to the husband with the marriage, but not free and clear in that he could use and control it, but he couldn't sell it.
The standard contract provided that if the wife predeceased the husband, the land would be inherited free and clear by the oldest son or, barring sons, to all the daughters equally. Usually the husband would be given a "life interest", which meant he could live on the land for the rest of his life but could not control it after his son reached 21. If there were no children the land would usually revert back to the wife's most senior surviving male relative, again with a "life interest" clause.
If the husband predeceased the wife, which was much rarer in the 1800s than it is now, the land would again go to either the oldest son or to the daughters en masse, but the widow would have a life interest.
AnswerI believe the above answer is incomplete and misses a subtle, but important, point. As a literary device, the real point is not whether or not Lady Catherine owns the property, but that it is not entailed. For practical purposes she may do anything she wants with it except, perhaps, dispose of it without passing it to her daughter.Lady Catherine and her family offer an interesting counterpoise to the Bennet family. If Mr. Bennet predeceases his wife, neither his wife nor his daughters inherit anything at all of the estate, because it is entailed, meaning it must pass to a male heir. By contrast, as Lady Catherine herself points out at Elizabeth's first dinner at Rosings (Volume II, Chapter VI) "...I see no occasion for entailing estates from the female line. -It was not thought necessary in Sir Lewis de Bourgh's family."
Mrs. Bennet was given an inheritance of 4000 pounds from her father, and this will be divided at her death among her children (it becomes 5000 in at least one of the films). Aside from that, none of the women in that immediate family will have any inheritance because the father's estate is entailed to a male heir. This is why Mrs. Bennet talks of their being turned out on Mr. Bennet's death, and particularly why she was so anxious for one of her daughters to marry Mr Collins.
By contrast, Lady Catherine's estate will pass to Anne de Bourgh, who will be sole heir. And this is why a marriage between Miss de Bourgh and Mr. Darcy would unite the two estates.
The difference arises from the differences in the ways the wills were drawn up by ancestors of the two estates. The Bennet ancestor entailed the property to male heirs only (as was common). The de Bourgh ancestor did not, which allowed it to come into the possession of women.
She treats Lady Catherine with the respect properly due an older woman with a higher social rank, but without the awe some other people, notably Mr. Collins, seemed to have. She treats Lady Catherine fearlessly, as a person not intellectually or morally superior to herself, a fact that probably irked Lady Catherine at least a bit.

In 1821 Maine became the first state to allow married women to own property, but only in situations where their spouse was incapacitated. Other states followed between 1835 and 1860, some allowing married women to own property and some allowing them to own but not to control property.
Hi, If you're specific to the property suggested above, yes this property does exist with the CU Iridium coins. Although these are not limited to these flimsy coins. It could be for any other copper artifacts. Personally, I've held one and seen its property. However, I'm not sure of the cost, or end usage of this property. So Good Luck if you're looking for one.
The fact that the property is entailed means that at some point in the history of the family, a will was made out stipulating that the property could only go to a male heir and that this would be the case in perpetuity. There are two cases of entailment in Pride and Prejudice that are subjects of discussion. The entailment of Mr. Bennet's estate is the more important and is mentioned repeatedly since it is important to the plot and involves the heroine. The other is Lady Catherine's mention of the relative situation at Rosings. Her estate is not entailed to a male heir, and so it can pass to her daughter, who will be wealthy as a result. This contrasts with the Bennet girls' need to marry to maintain themselves.

Lady Catherine's criticism reveals that, compared to other young ladies of similar social status, the Bennet girls have been neglected. They were never forced to learn and expand heir horizon, although they were not prevented from learning, if they wanted to.
Yes. The lender will foreclose on the mortgaged property. If you owe more than the property sells for at foreclosure the lender could sue you in civil court and obtain a judgment lien that it could record in the land records. In that case it would affect your other property.

The rules will vary by state if we are talking about the US. In some cases the fact that the money is from a trust will be key to demonstrating that the property is not community property. In other cases the other party will have to have signed a document to evidence that they have no rights to the property. In some locations other factors apply. It could be best that the trust buys the property and holds it in the name of the trust. Then there is little room to argue that the property is community property. Other options exist if the trust does not have enough money to buy the property without financing. Consult a local attorney for laws in your area.
Party A should be, but there'll be other circumstances present which could have an impact on this.
Catherine's brother David does not understand rules like other kids do. Also, Jason at OT and Catherine become "friends" and Kristi tells Catherine to bring him to the dance! Catherine is embarrassed!!
