MAXIMS OF EQUITY 1. RIGHTEOUSNESS acts upon the person, (forcing him to do what conscience requires). 2. RIGHTEOUSNESS will not suffer a wrong without a remedy (healing, restoration, betterment). (RIGHTEOUSNESS abhors a forfeiture of rights.)

MAXIMS OF EQUITY 3. RIGHTEOUSNESS imputes (credits) an intention to fulfill a covenant. IT’S YOUR INTENTIONS THAT COUNT INTENTION: an anticipated outcome that guides your actions an anticipated outcome that guides your actions

MAXIMS OF EQUITY 4. RIGHTEOUSNESS acts specifically, and not by way of compensation or settlement. GOD HAS ALREADY JUDGED IN YOUR FAVOR – IF YOU GET ANYTHING LESS, IT IS BECAUSE YOU SETTLED!!

MAXIMS OF EQUITY 5. RIGHTEOUSNESS regards as done, that which ought to be done. (RIGHTEOUSNESS abhors a forfeiture of rights.) If God says something, He considers it “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED”! (And he hates it if you forfeit his favorable judgment)

MAXIMS OF EQUITY 6. RIGHTEOUSNESS requires him who seeks RIGHTEOUSNESS to do RIGHTEOUSNESS. If you endeavor to obtain equity you have to commit equity Commit: to invest & to tie up as to make unavailable for other purposes to invest & to tie up as to make unavailable for other purposes

MAXIMS OF EQUITY 7. RIGHTEOUSNESS regards the beneficiary (heir) as the real owner.

Heir n. Anyone who acquires property upon someone’s death which is based upon the rules of descent and distribution. It can refer to anyone who receives something from a will, but usually refers to the child, descendant, or other close relative of the deceased. An heir cannot be identified until the person leaving the property dies because the heir apparent may pass away first. Upon adoption, a legally adopted child gains the right to be an heir as if he/she were the natural child of the adoptive parent or parents and is referred to as an adoptive heir.
