Section 6 mentions that the property of any kind may be transferred except as otherwise provided by this Act or by any other law. Clause (a) of section 6 of the Transfer Of Property Act excludes mere chance of an heir apparent of succeeding to an estate from the category of transferable property. The technical expression for such a chance is ‘Spes Successionis’. A transfer of a spec successionis is a ‘ity and has no effect in law.[E. Adinarayana Patra v. Ramahari Patra AIR 1980 Orissa 95(97]
