he in whose name it has been made may ,
by his own act ,

or if the contract be made by the party himself in an informal and voidable manner ,
he may in a more formal manner confirm and render it valid ;

Lord Coke defines a confirmation of an estate ,
to be "
a conveyance of an estate or right in esse ,
whereby a voidable estate is made sure and unavoidable ;
or where a particular estate is increased ."
4 .
The first part of this definition may be illustrated by the following case ,
put by Littleton ,
Sec .
516 ;
where a person lets land to another for the term of his life ,
who lets the same to another for forty years ,
by force of which he is in possession ;
if the lessor for life confirms the estate of the tenant for years by deed ,
and afterwards the tenant for life dies ,
during the term ;
this deed will operate as a confirmation of the term for years ..
As to the latter branch of the definition ;
whenever a confirmation operates by way of increasing the estate ,
it is similar in every respect to a release that operates by way of enlargement ,
for there must be privity of estate ,
and proper words of limitation .
The proper technical words of a confirmation are ,
ratify and confirm ;
although it is usual and prudent to insert also the words given and granted .

A confirmation does not strengthen a void estate .
Confirmatio est nulla ,
ubi donum precedens est invalidum ,
et ubi donatio nulla est nec valebit confirmatio .
For confirmation may make a voidable or defeasible estate good ,
but cannot operate on an estate void in law .
