A Multi-Generational Mash-Up in Tribute to the Women of Section B PROPERTY B: 3/18 Pop Culture Moment “YOU GO TO MY HEAD” A Multi-Generational Mash-Up in Tribute to the Women of Section B

Previously in Property B We Completed Chapter Two with the Aerial Parts of the Tempest of the Teapot Problem and Learned an Important Life Lesson

Previously in Property B

Previously in Property B: Chapter 3 Distinctions You Should Know Basics: Present Possessory Estates v. Future Interests Fee Simple v. Finite Present Estates Common Law v. Today We’ll Review Now: Reversions v. Remainders Vested v. Contingent Remainders Remainders v. Executory Interests We’ll Review Before Doing Problem 3I : Determinable v. on Condition Subsequent

WARM-UP/REVIEW Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3K-3N Reversion v. Remainder REVERSION: Future interest implicitly retained by grantor when s/he conveys a finite estate without indicating who will have rights when it expires. REMAINDER: Future interest in a third party that follows naturally upon the termination of a finite estate. It is always expressly conveyed by the grantor.

WARM-UP/REVIEW Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3K-3N VESTED Remainder IF: Grantee is living ascertainable person AND Clause creating the remainder contains no condition on grantee taking the property except expiration of prior estate. CONTINGENT Remainder I IF: Grantee is presently unborn or unascertainable OR Clause creating the remainder contains an explicit condition on grantee taking the property.

WARM-UP/REVIEW Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3K-3N Remainder v. Executory Interest REMAINDER: Future interest in a third party that follows naturally upon the termination of a finite estate. EXECUTORY INTEREST: Future interest in a third party that cuts off a prior vested interest (present estate or reversion or vested remainder) rather than waiting for it to expire naturally.

WARM-UP/REVIEW Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3K-3N Shifting v. Springing Executory Interests No legal consequence; just categorization. Shifting Executory Interest cuts off interest of another grantee. To Danny & his heirs so long as no tobacco is grown on the land, otherwise to Arturo and his heirs. Springing Exec. Interest cuts off grantor’s fee simple or reversion. To Yujia & her heirs if she passes the California Bar Exam. (Would cut off grantor’s fee simple).

WARM-UP/REVIEW Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3K-3N Alternative Contingent Remainders Two contingent remainders for which the event that causes one to vest will destroy the other. Example: To K for life, then to L and her heirs if she graduates from law school, but if she never graduates from law school, then to M and her heirs. Here, only two possibilities: EITHER (1) L will graduate from law school (and would then take) OR (2) she will die before graduating from law school (M would then take)

WARM-UP/REVIEW Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3K-3N Alternative Contingent Remainders Two contingent remainders for which the event that causes one to vest will destroy the other. Example: To K for life, then to L and her heirs if she graduates from law school, but if she never graduates from law school, then to M and her heirs. When Alternative Contingent Remainders Created, Grantor Always Retains a Reversion

Vested Remainder Subject to Divestment Vested Remainder followed by an Executory Interest that could cut it off before it becomes possessory. Same as what textbook calls “Vested Remainder Subject to Complete Defeasance” (P539)

Vested Remainder Subject to Divestment O “to A for life, then to B & her heirs, but if B dies before 21, then to C & his heirs.” (No Reversion in O) Clause creating interest in B has no conditions, so “vested remainder” Executory interest in C could cut off B’s interest before B takes possession (= end of life estate), so “subject to divestment”

Contingent Remainder (1) v. Vested Remainder Subject to Divestment (2) O “to A for life, then to B & her heirs if she turns 21, but if B dies before 21, then to C and his heirs.” Reversion in O. [Clause creating interest in B includes condition] (2) O “to A for life, then to B & her heirs, but if B dies before 21, then to C & his heirs.” (No Reversion in O) [Clause creating interest in B has no conditions]

George: Life Estate Kramer? Everglades (3K): “To George for life, then to Kramer and his heirs; but if Kramer does not attain the age of 21, then to Elaine and her heirs." Kramer is 15 years old. George: Life Estate Kramer?

Kramer: Vested Rem. (in f.s.) Subj. to Divestment Everglades (3K): “To George for life, then to Kramer and his heirs; but if Kramer does not attain the age of 21, then to Elaine and her heirs." Kramer is 15 years old. George: Life Estate Kramer: Vested Rem. (in f.s.) Subj. to Divestment Vested b/c K not reaching 21 is condition on Elaine’s interest; K doesn’t have to reach 21 to get possession Subject to Divestment b/c K can lose interest before it becomes possessory if he dies before 21 while G alive Elaine?

Elaine: Shifting Executory Interest (in f.s.) Everglades (3K): “To George for life, then to Kramer and his heirs; but if Kramer does not attain the age of 21, then to Elaine and her heirs." Kramer is 15 years old. George: Life Estate Kramer: Vested Rem. (in f.s.) Subj. to Divestment Elaine: Shifting Executory Interest (in f.s.) Executory Interest b/c would cut off K’s Vested Rem. (or Fee if K gets possession before turning 21) Shifting b/c cutting off grantee’s interest Note: If there’s a vested remainder, can’t have a second remainder following same finite interest.

What if Kramer then turns 21 before George dies? Everglades (3K): “To George for life, then to Kramer and his heirs; but if Kramer does not attain the age of 21, then to Elaine and her heirs." Kramer is 15 years old. George: Life Estate Kramer: Vested Rem. (in f.s.) Subj. to Divestment Elaine: Shifting Executory Interest (in f.s.) What if Kramer then turns 21 before George dies?

QUESTIONS? George: Life Estate Everglades (3K): “To George for life, then to Kramer and his heirs; but if Kramer does not attain the age of 21, then to Elaine and her heirs." Kramer turns 21; George still alive. George: Life Estate Kramer: Vested Rem. (in f.s.) Subj. to Divestment Elaine: Shifting Executory Interest (in f.s.) Interest fails. QUESTIONS?

B: Shifting Exec. Int. + Vested Remainder  Vested Rem. (Merger) (Again, merger into “vested remainder” captures idea that B will end up with land eventually no matter what.)
