MONDAY Pop Culture Moment PROPERTY A: 3/20 MONDAY Pop Culture Moment The Origin of Reese’s PEANUT BUTTER EGGS: A LAWYERLY INQUIRY & SIMULATION

Previously in Property A: 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 (Mostly from 3/9 Class): Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3L-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 (Mostly from 3/9 Class): Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3L-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.

Remainder v. Executory Interest WARM-UP/REVIEW (Mostly from 3/9 Class): Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3L-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.

Shifting v. Springing Executory Interests WARM-UP/REVIEW (Mostly from 3/9 Class): Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3L-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. S(Would cut off grantor’s fee simple).

WARM-UP/REVIEW (Mostly from 3/9 Class): Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3L-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 (Mostly from 3/9 Class): Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3L-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 WARM-UP/REVIEW (Mostly from 3/9 Class): Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3L-3N Vested Remainder Subject to Divestment Vested Remainder followed by an Executory Interest that could cut off the remainder before it becomes possessory. E.g., Kramer’s interest in (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."

WARM-UP/REVIEW (Mostly from 3/9 Class): Key Ideas/Terms to Set Up Problems 3L-3N (1) Alternative Contingent Remainders v. (2) Vested Remainder Subject to Divestment 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.” (Also Creates Reversion in O). (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)

Sequoia (3M): Amanda "to Billy for life, then to Billy's children and their heirs, but if at Billy's death he is not survived by any children, then to Jo and her heirs." Billy has no children. Contingent remainder in B’s children vests when a child of B’s is born. When does contingent remainder in Jo vest?

Sequoia (3M): Amanda "to Billy for life, then to Billy's children and their heirs, but if at Billy's death he is not survived by any children, then to Jo and her heirs." Billy has no children. Contingent remainder in B’s children vests when a child of B’s is born. Contingent remainder in Jo vests when Billy dies survived by no children. Is the interest in Jo destroyed when the interest in the children vests?

WORKBOOK (p93): Vested Remainder Subject to Divestment in Fee Simple on Executory Limitation. ME: Phrase in italics is accurate but unnecessary.

FLOW CHART: IDENTIFYING DEFEASIBLE FEES 58

FLOW CHART: IDENTIFYING DEFEASIBLE FEES 59

FLOW CHART: IDENTIFYING DEFEASIBLE FEES 60

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 Rohan for 20 years, but if he ever passes the bar exam, I can enter & retake.” Life Estate on Executory Limitation “To Shane for life, but to Steven & his heirs if Steven 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 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 captures idea that B will end up with land eventually no matter what.)

SEQUOIA: Problem 3I SEQUOIAS

Sequoia: (3I): O conveys "to J and her heirs so long as the premises are not used for sale of beer, wine, or liquor, and if beer, wine, or liquor is sold on the premises, O retains a right to re-enter the premises." ` J opens a restaurant that serves several dishes cooked with wine or flamed with brandy and at Sunday brunch offers a free glass of champagne. The restaurant is successful, and 11 years after its opening D wants to buy it and add a bar. Advise D.

MULTI-STEP ANALYSIS (from Course Page) Sequoia: (3I): O conveys "to J and her heirs so long as the premises are not used for sale of beer, wine, or liquor, and if beer, wine, or liquor is sold on the premises, O retains a right to re-enter the premises." MULTI-STEP ANALYSIS (from Course Page) Corresponds to Plausible Sequence of Multiple Choice Qs FSD or FSCS? CONDITION VIOLATED? EFFECT OF VIOLATION? ADVICE RE PURCHASE

MULTI-STEP ANALYSIS FSD or FSCS? Sequoia: (3I): O conveys "to J and her heirs so long as the premises are not used for sale of beer, wine, or liquor, and if beer, wine, or liquor is sold on the premises, O retains a right to re-enter the premises." MULTI-STEP ANALYSIS FSD or FSCS? CONDITION VIOLATED? EFFECT OF VIOLATION? ADVICE RE PURCHASE

Arguments for Each Position? Sequoia: (3I): O conveys "to J and her heirs so long as the premises are not used for sale of beer, wine, or liquor, and if beer, wine, or liquor is sold on the premises, O retains a right to re-enter the premises." FSD or FSCS? Does Orrin’s interest vest automatically (FSD) or does he have to act (FSCS)? Arguments for Each Position?
