Simple English definitions for legal terms

executory limitation

Read a random definition: ex statuto

A quick definition of executory limitation:

An executory limitation is a legal term that refers to a restriction on an estate that causes it to automatically end and transfer to a third party upon the occurrence of a specific event. This type of limitation is not recognized in common law and can only be created as a shifting use or an executory devise. It is a condition subsequent in favor of someone other than the transferor. For example, if a property is transferred to A until B turns 21, then the property will automatically transfer to C when B turns 21.

A more thorough explanation:

An executory limitation is a type of restriction that automatically ends an estate and transfers it to a third party upon the occurrence of a specified event. This type of limitation is not recognized in common law and can only be created as a shifting use or an executory devise. It is a condition subsequent in favor of someone other than the transferor.

  • A conveys a piece of land to B until C graduates from college, at which point the land will automatically transfer to D. This is an example of an executory limitation because the estate will end and transfer to D upon the occurrence of C's graduation.
  • A lease agreement includes a provision that terminates the lease if the lessee defaults on their payments. This is also an example of an executory limitation because the estate (the lease) will end and transfer back to the lessor upon the occurrence of the default.

These examples illustrate how an executory limitation can cause an estate to automatically end and transfer to a third party upon the occurrence of a specified event, which is different from a regular limitation that restricts the extent of an estate.

Tell us what's important to you
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
