fettering of property

Read a random definition: divisa

A quick definition of fettering of property:

Fettering of property is when the ownership of property becomes more complicated because it is split into different parts. This means that people who have separate interests in the property must work together to manage it properly. For example, if one person owns the property now but someone else will own it in the future, they must cooperate to make decisions about the property. This can also happen when multiple people own the property together, like in a tenancy in common.

A more thorough explanation:

Fettering of property refers to the act of making the ownership or disposition of property more complicated, so that those with separate interests must work together to manage their interests effectively.

This occurs when ownership is divided into two or more interests, such as when present and future interests are separated or when a tenancy in common is established.

An example of fettering of property is when a father leaves his house to his son, but stipulates in his will that the son cannot sell the property until he turns 30 years old. This means that the son cannot sell the property until he reaches a certain age, even if he needs the money or wants to move.

Another example is when a property is owned by multiple people as tenants in common. Each owner has a separate interest in the property, and they must work together to make decisions about the property, such as whether to sell it or make improvements.

These examples illustrate how fettering of property can make ownership more complex and require cooperation between those with separate interests.

I'm assuming then for status checking eventually that the school emails you that information once LSAC finishes processing?
babycat

Yep

Does the CAS Report send once the school requests it or do I have to send it ?
babycat

It sends automatically

I'm in a dual degree program that my undergraduate has where if you meet a gpa and percentile you can have your senior year be your L1 ! Cuts off a year of time and money and the partner was my top pick for law anyways. It all just worked out and since it's ED can't really apply anywhere else because the L1 transfers back to complete my degree. :)

God my mouth is burning so much
@babycat: A few things. I mean, for one, this is my fifth year of undergrad (graduating with a dual BA/MA), so I don't think academically I'm incredibly behind or anything. Beyond, that I've explored other fields, and for the very niche area of public interest work I am interested in, law is the only way I can make a substantiative difference so why not start now.
And also my other options just are not great. I could take a shit paying job at a think tank, I was offered a job at, but I don’t find the work interesting. Or I could continue in academia, getting a phd, but again just not especially interested in academic philosophy.
I would say more, but I am very close to doxxing myself if I haven’t already.

5th year at 19. That is amazing.

So you started when you were 14. Wow.
Dkk

I tried to find you but if still in school, other names pop up first. Do you drink alcohol? If not, you should start drinking to catch up to me. @texas
I started at 15
turning 20 this year
or well very beginning of next year

My best advice is to start learning wine and cocktails asap. Take the introductory and certified sommelier exam as soon as you hit 21.
Dkk
1:16
I could not find you with that information. You are still probably pretty safe. Though I did not use all my search engines or filters.
@Dkk: That is good. Granted I don't think being doxxed would be the end of the world, but who knows.
And, yeah, I have drinken a little bit over the last couple of years (what college student hasn't), but not a massive fan
Dkk

That is cus college people drink like idiots. I was not a fan at my first college and I did not start drinking until I was 22.5. The art of Sommelier stuff though is less about drinking and more about thought process. Kind of a puzzle like a logic game. Same with cocktails. You will love it if you hate college type drinking.

It's something to do outside of the things you mentioned, it is useful for networking, and it will help you in law school. It will help you find exactly what you want to do in law school.
