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.

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.

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.

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).

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)

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: Vested Rem. (in f.s.)

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.

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.

Vested Remainder Subject to Divestment (1) v. Vested Remainder in F. S
Vested Remainder Subject to Divestment (1) v. Vested Remainder in F.S. subj. to Exec. Lim. (2) (1) To A for life, then to B & her heirs, but if B dies before turning 21, then to C & his heirs. Condition might occur before B takes possession. (2) To A for life, then to B & her heirs, but if B ever uses the land for commercial purposes, to C & his heirs. Condition is a limit on B’s use of the land and cannot occur before B takes possession.

TERMINOLOGY: ME v. WORKBOOK
To A for life, then to B & her heirs, but if B dies before turning 21, then to C & his heirs. Condition might occur before B takes possession, but also might occur after. WORKBOOK (p93): Vested Remainder Subject to Divestment in Fee Simple on Executory Limitation. ME: Phrase in italics is accurate but unnecessary. In multiple choice answers, I will simply call this interest a Vested Remainder Subject to Divestment (as long as it might occur before possession).

TERMINOLOGY: ME v. WORKBOOK (Reminder)
Defeasible fee in form of a Fee Simple Determinable BUT with the future interest in third party: Me (& Restatement & You on Test): “Fee Simple on Executory Limitation” Workbook: “Fee Simple Determinable” (See Workbook p.72 fn19)

Review: Accessorizing Defeasible Fees & Matching Future Interests
FEE SIMPLE DETERMINABLE & Possibility of Reverter F.S. ON CONDITION SUBSEQUENT & Right of Re[Entry] F.S. ON EXECUTORY LIMITATION & Executory Interest

Review: Examples of Defeasible Finite Estates
Term of Years on Condition Subsequent: “To Rachel for 20 years, but if she ever passes the bar exam, I can enter & retake.” Life Estate on Executory Limitation “To Ajith for life, but to Ben & his heirs if Ben ever passes the bar exam.”

REVIEW Defeasible Finite Estates & Matching Future Interests
Defeasible Finite Estates Necessarily Create Two Future Interests One cuts off the finite estate if the condition is met One follows at the end of the finite estate if it terminates naturally (i.e., if the condition is not met). If One Person Holds Both of These Future Interests, They Will Merge Into the “Larger” Interest

REVIEW Defeasible Finite Estates & Matching Future Interests
Defeasible Finite Estates Necessarily Create Two Future Interests If One Person Holds Both of These Future Interests, They Will Merge Into the “Larger” Interest Example (3H): Thelma conveys “To Louise for 99 Years if Louise so long live." Louise: Term of years determinable. Thelma: Possibility of Reverter plus Reversion  Reversion (Merger) (Merger into “reversion” captures idea that T will end up with land eventually no matter what.)

Defeasible Finite Estates & Matching Future Interests
Defeasible Finite Estates Necessarily Create Two Future Interests If One Person Holds Both of These Future Interests, They Will Merge Into the “Larger” Interest NEW Example (E79): O “To A for life or until A divorces, then to B" A: Life Estate on Executory Limitation. 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.)
