49. DEFEASIBLE FEES

50. DEFEASIBLE FEES Restatement Terms FEE SIMPLE DETERMINABLE FEE SIMPLE ON CONDITION SUBSEQUENT FEE SIMPLE ON EXECUTORY LIMITATION

51. FEE SIMPLE DETERMINABLE OPERATION: Self-Executing

52. FEE SIMPLE DETERMINABLE OPERATION: Self-Executing KEY LANGUAGE: “So long as”, “While”, “Until”

53. FEE SIMPLE DETERMINABLE OPERATION: Self-Executing KEY LANGUAGE: “So long as”, “While”, “Until” FUTURE INTEREST: Possibility of Reverter (in GRANTOR)

54. FEE SIMPLE DETERMINABLE EXAMPLE: To Estelle and her heirs so long as asparagus is not grown on the property.

56. FEE SIMPLE ON CONDITION SUBSEQUENT OPERATION: Grantor must act

57. FEE SIMPLE ON CONDITION SUBSEQUENT OPERATION: Grantor must act KEY LANGUAGE: –“But if”, “provided that if”, “on condition that if” PLUS –“O may [re]enter and [re]claim the land”

58. FEE SIMPLE ON CONDITION SUBSEQUENT OPERATION: Grantor must act KEY LANGUAGE: “But if”, “provided that if”, “on condition that if” PLUS “O may [re]enter and [re]claim the land ” FUTURE INTEREST: Right of [Re]Entry (in GRANTOR)

59. FEE SIMPLE ON CONDITION SUBSEQUENT EXAMPLE: To Estelle and her heirs, but if asparagus is grown on the property, I can reenter and claim the land

61. FEE SIMPLE ON EXECUTORY LIMITATION OPERATION: Either self-executing or grantee has to act.

62. Warning: Inconsistency Textbook says Fee Simple on Executory Limitation terminates automatically (P580) For our purposes, assume that sometimes, a Fee Simple on Executory Limitation can operate like a Fee Simple on Condition Subsequent “To Sonny & his heirs, but if Sonny ever runs for Congress, Cher may enter and take the land.”

63. FEE SIMPLE ON EXECUTORY LIMITATION OPERATION: Either self-executing or grantee has to act. KEY LANGUAGE: Creates interest in 3d party if condition violated

64. FEE SIMPLE ON EXECUTORY LIMITATION OPERATION: Either self-executing or grantee has to act. KEY LANGUAGE: Creates interest in 3d party if condition violated FUTURE INTEREST: Executory Interest (in 3d party grantee)

66. FEE SIMPLE ON EXECUTORY LIMITATION: EXAMPLES To Estelle and her heirs so long as asparagus is not grown on the property, otherwise to Bob To Estelle and her heirs, but if asparagus is grown on the property, Bob can reenter and claim the land

67. DEFEASIBLE FEES: Restatement Terms FEE SIMPLE DETERMINABLE (to grantor; automatic) F.S. ON CONDITION SUBSEQUENT (to grantor; must act) F.S. ON EXECUTORY LIMITATION (to grantee; either way)

68. Accessorizing: Defeasible Fees & Matching Future Interests FEE SIMPLE DETERMINABLE & POSSIBILITY OF REVERTER F.S. ON CONDITION SUBSEQUENT & RIGHT OF ENTRY F.S. ON EXECUTORY LIMITATION & EXECUTORY INTEREST
