immediate descent

immediate descent
In one sense of the term, a descent cast directly upon the heir, as where the descent is to a grandson of the intestate, the father or intermediate person being dead. In another and distinct sense, a descent directly from the intestate without intervening link or degree of consanguinity, as from father to son, but not from grandfather to grandson, the latter descent being mediate from this standpoint. Lessee of Levy v M'Cartee (US) 6 Pet 102, 8 L Ed 334.
