estate in remainder

Read a random definition: unified bar

A quick definition of estate in remainder:

An estate in remainder is a type of future interest in property that goes to someone other than the person who created the estate or their heirs. It happens after the initial holder's estate ends. For example, if a grant is "to A for life, and then to B," B's future interest is a remainder. There are different types of remainders, such as vested and contingent remainders, cross-remainders, and charitable remainders. A vested remainder goes to an ascertained person and is not subject to a condition precedent, while a contingent remainder is subject to a condition precedent or owned by unascertainable persons.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Estate in remainder refers to a future interest in a third person, who is not the creator of the estate, its initial holder, or their heirs. This person is intended to take over the property after the natural termination of the preceding estate. For example, if a grant is “to A for life, and then to B,” B's future interest is a remainder. If there is only one preceding estate and the remainder vests on that estate's expiration, the remainder is also termed an executed estate.

Examples:

  • “To A for life, and then to B” - B's future interest in the property is a remainder.
  • “To A for life, and then to A's children” - A's children have a contingent remainder in the property, as their interest is subject to the condition precedent of surviving A.
  • “To A for life, and then to B if B graduates from college before A dies” - B's interest in the property is a contingent remainder, as it is subject to the condition precedent of graduating from college before A's death.

The examples illustrate how a remainder is a future interest in a property that arises in a third person after the natural termination of the preceding estate. The type of remainder (vested, contingent, defeasible, etc.) depends on the language used in the grant and any conditions or contingencies attached to the interest.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer
