Remainders, executory interests and class gifts Flashcard Deck - 8 Cards

Flashcard 1: What feature distinguishes a tenancy by the entirety from a joint tenancy?

Answer: A tenancy by the entirety is available only to married spouses in states recognizing it and includes a right of survivorship. Generally, neither spouse may unilaterally convey or encumber the property without the other spouse’s consent.

Flashcard 2: How do a fee simple determinable and a fee simple subject to a condition subsequent differ?

Answer: A fee simple determinable ends automatically upon the stated event and is followed by a possibility of reverter, while a fee simple subject to a condition subsequent continues until the grantor exercises a right of entry after the event.

Flashcard 3: Are words of inheritance required to convey a fee simple under the modern majority rule?

Answer: No. Under the modern majority rule, a conveyance to a person without a stated duration presumptively creates a fee simple absolute; words such as “and heirs” are unnecessary.

Flashcard 4: What estate is created by a conveyance “to A, but if alcohol is ever sold on the premises, then to B”?

Answer: A has a fee simple subject to an executory limitation, and B has an executory interest. If the stated event occurs, B automatically takes possession without the grantor’s reentry or election.

Flashcard 5: What is a life estate, and what future interest follows a life estate created in the grantor?

Answer: A life estate lasts for the life of a specified person and is inalienable as to its duration; the life tenant cannot convey a greater estate. When the grantor retains the future interest, it is a reversion.

Flashcard 6: What are the requirements for creating a joint tenancy under the majority rule?

Answer: The four unities are time, title, interest, and possession: the joint tenants must acquire equal interests at the same time, through the same instrument, with equal rights to possess. A joint tenant’s conveyance severs the joint tenancy as to that interest and creates a tenancy in common.

Flashcard 7: What duties does a life tenant owe regarding waste?

Answer: A life tenant must avoid voluntary waste, permissive waste, and, under the majority rule, ameliorative waste unless the changes are consented to or do not significantly reduce the property’s value.

Flashcard 8: What is a tenancy in common?

Answer: A tenancy in common is concurrent ownership in which each cotenant holds a separate fractional interest with an equal right to possess the whole property. There is no right of survivorship, so a deceased cotenant’s interest passes by will or intestacy.
