English term
fall to be held/fall to be paid
English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
Dear colleagues,
I am currently translating a deed of settlement drafted by a UK lawyer. I know that trust deeds often contain very archaic language, but this particular deed contains an expression I have never come across before.
Examples:
The Trustees may invest any income which *falls to be held* as accretions to the fund (...)
(...) any funds as may *fall to be paid* to such persons (...)
What's the exact meaning of "fall to be done" in these contexts?
Thank you very much for your help!

As you say, it's rather archaic, but the terms are still seen in some expressions.
