vested interest 1. In law, an interest in property that is certain to come about rather than one dependent upon some event that may not happen. For example, a gift to ‘A for life and then to B’ means that A's interest is
vested in possession, because A has the property now. B's gift is also vested (but not in possession) because A will certainly die sometime and then B (or B's estate if B is dead) will inherit the property. A gift to C ‘if C reaches the age of 30’ is not vested, because C may die before reaching that age. An interest that is not vested is known as a
contingent interest.
2. An involvement in the outcome of some business, scheme, transaction, etc., usually in anticipation of a personal gain.
