Remainder (trust law)

Read a random definition: Motion In Limine

A quick definition of Remainder (trust law):

Remainder (trust law): In trust law, a remainder is what's left of the trust property after specific gifts have been given to the intended beneficiaries. It's like having a cake and giving slices to some people, but there's still some cake left over. That leftover cake is the remainder. In the same way, the remainder is what's left of the trust property that hasn't been given to anyone yet.

A more thorough explanation:

In trust law, a remainder interest refers to the portion of the trust property that remains after specific devises have been given to the intended beneficiaries.

For example, if a trust is created with the instruction that the income from the trust property should be given to a specific person for their lifetime, and then the remainder of the property should be given to a charity, the charity would have a remainder interest in the trust property.

Another example would be if a trust is created with the instruction that the income from the trust property should be given to a specific person for their lifetime, and then the remainder of the property should be given to their children. In this case, the children would have a remainder interest in the trust property.

These examples illustrate how a remainder interest works in trust law. It is the portion of the trust property that is left over after specific devises have been given to other beneficiaries.

Anybody heard lately from the University of Utah?
that depends on what states ur interested in and what ur looking for in a school
u could always plug ur stats into the LSData chance me tool, or use the 7Sage law school predictor
i work in IP law in georgia. im honestly looking for the best quality education at the best price for this field. keeping in mind illinois in state tuition does a lot for my financial situation

can't relate, i wanna be a porn star
i find so many people dont find it valuable getting into the job market a year earlier. as someone who already has a great understanding of how my field operates, does it make sense why i prioritize it so much. and mrthickropes, any other schools you have in mind?

Florida A&M, Ole Miss you're at 25th percentile LSAT, Montana you're almost at median and above for GPA
i agree with ropes, i think getting experience at ur current firm and using the time to improve ur score will be best... the school u go too has an impact on ur chances of being hired, and ull find ur rates of being hired r hiring if u come from a respected university
u can stay w ur firm, strengthen that relationship, and hopefully next year they will even offer to pay for more of ur applications.

that seems heavy
my boss warned me sooo many times that new attys fresh out of law school r having a hard time finding work, so having ur current work experience coupled with an improved LSAT score that will get u into a better school, paired with that better school, future employers will be more likely to hire u even if u didnt come from Harvard lol
