release to uses

Read a random definition: evaluation agreement

A quick definition of release to uses:

Release to Uses: When someone gives their property to someone else through a legal document called a "deed of release," it's called a release to uses. This is done so that the person giving the property can benefit from it or so that a third party can benefit from it. It's important to note that this type of transfer is subject to certain laws and regulations, such as the Statute of Uses and Use(4).

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Release to uses refers to the transfer of property from one party to another through a deed of release. This transfer is made for the benefit of the grantor or a third party.

For example, if John owns a piece of land and wants to transfer it to his son, he can use a release to uses. John would transfer the land to a third party, who would then hold the land for the benefit of John's son. This allows John's son to receive the land without having to pay any taxes or fees associated with the transfer.

Another example of release to uses is when a company transfers its assets to a trust for the benefit of its employees. The company would use a release to uses to transfer the assets to the trust, which would then hold the assets for the benefit of the employees.

These examples illustrate how release to uses can be used to transfer property for the benefit of a third party. It is a useful tool for estate planning, asset protection, and charitable giving.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
realistically you would make it into at least one

I'm still waiting on a bunch of T14 so hopefully those stats are a good indicator
15:16
idk wait it out - if good offer take if no good offer R&R
i dont think you need to R&R im pretty sure you make it into at least one t14
but if you apply earlier its just a lot easier
15:17
thats odd I didn't see those stats, but ok. We talked abt this awhile back and I'm working on Columbia + Berkeley rn then Cornell, probs is I'm not gonna produce good Why X's before the 25th but whatever
https://www.lsd.law/search/cV9E6 this is artificially deflated because it's only below your stats
someone got into harvard and chicago with your stats
15:19
Why is that deflating it? isnt that a better indicator instead of choosing above median LSATs? Genuinely curious just wondering
when stats are close because of the variability you want a little above your stats and a little below to get more data, adcoms arent so finnicky that 2 points on the lsat is make or break unless it puts you above median, and even then 50% are below median so it's not as big of an impact as you might think. the reason the chanceme tool goes a little above and below your stats by default is to capture a more accurate picture
ie your softs/WE/essays might make you more or less competitive than any random applicant and the best way to account for that is to take a little above and a little below
15:21
got it, I was of the mindset that medians are pretty concrete so taking a +2 LSAT score range was just giving me irrelevant data. Thank you
15:21
Def my softs/essays are the strongest part of my application so hoping they shine through
they kind of are but you see with the data here is doesnt really change your chances going from 172 to 170
yeah youll be in a good place for this cycle
15:22
yeah I guess thats true, I've also been looking at "Included" not "Only" for URM so maybe that's a diff too
15:22
Appreciate it man!
yeah included is giving you data for nURM which isnt relevant for your cycle
and ofc, good luck :)
