Former levy which, upon the death of the tenant, the heirs had to pay in cash to the landlord on the basis of the Kurmede (right of the landowner of a sum payable by the successors of a lessee of life). – Originally, the Kurmut was a duty (Fron; soccage), a tribute in kind, in which the best piece of cattle had to be handed over; from there also comes the synonymous designation “Besthauptgeld”. In its essence, the Kurmutgeld – in some areas also called Ablait – was an inheritance tax (succession duty, inheritance tax). – See Abzuggeld, Befreiungsgeld, Cerozensual, Detz, Erbschaftsteuer, Fallgeld, Sterbegeld.
