ENTIRETY
The whole, in contradistinction to a moiety or part only. When land is conveyed to HUSBAND AND WIFE, they do not take by moieties, but both are seised of the entirety. Parceners, on the other hand, have not an entirety of interest, but each is
properly entitled to the whole of a distinct moiety.
The word is also used to designate that

capable of being divided into parts. Thus, a
judgment, it is held, is an entirety, and, if void as
to one of the two defendants, cannot be valid as
to the other. Also, if a contract is an entirety, no
part of the consideration is due until the whole
