executed. something done; something completed. this word is frequently used 
in connexion with others to designate a quality of such other words; as an 
executed contract; an executed estate; an executed trust, c. it is opposed 
to executory. 
     2. an executed contract is one which has been fulfilled; as, where the 
buyer has paid thrice of the thing purchased by him. see agreement. 
     3. an executed estate is when there is vested in the grantee a present 
and immediate right of present or future enjoyment; and in another sense, 
the term applies to the time of enjoyment; and in that sense, an estate is 
said to be executed, when it confers a present right of present enjoyment. 
when the right of enjoyment in possession is to arise at a future period, 
only, the estate is executed that is, it is merely vested in point of 
interest: when the right of immediate enjoyment is annexed to the estate, 
then only is the estate vested in possession. 1 prest. on est. 62.

devised, in terms or in effect, to and for the use of one person or several

the trusts had a view to a future instrument for accomplishing his 
intention. prest. on est. 188.
