Those exempt from the new rule are said to have grandfather rights or acquired rights, or to have been grandfathered in. Frequently, the exemption is limited, as it may extend for a set time, or it may be lost under certain circumstances; for example, a grandfathered power plant might be exempt from new, more restrictive pollution laws, but the ...

The coefficient of relationship is a measure of the degree of consanguinity (or biological relationship) between two individuals. The term coefficient of relationship was defined by Sewall Wright in 1922, and was derived from his definition of the coefficient of inbreeding of 1921.
Irrevocable trusts created before September 25, 1985, are said to be "grandfathered" (no pun intended) and exempt from the GST tax.

Positive examples now consist of those values <X,Y,Z> such that grandfather(X,Y) is true and parent(X,Z) is true; negative examples are those where grandfather(X,Y) is true but parent(X,Z) is false.
The widow married the son, and the daughter the old man; the widow was, therefore, mother to her husband's father, consequently grandmother to her own husband. They had a son, to whom she was great-grandmother; now, as the son of a great-grandmother must be either a grandfather or great-uncle, this boy was therefore his own grandfather. N. B.
