Talk:Remainder (law)

Cleanup

I feel that legal articles should be explained in the language of a layperson -- the likely user of this article is someone who has run across the word, possibly while reading old documents in a geneology, and wants a clue. I'll do this myself if no one else does in the next few weeks. Robert A.West (Talk) 23:21, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, so after I made changes to the future interest page, I'm recommending this page simply redirect there. Flickboy 07:43, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about the redirect, but I've done some work to try to make this page a bit more accessible. It seems like a working vocabulary of: reversion, future interest, interest, devise, convey, and an understanding of the words of limitation is crucial to the comprehension of this article.

I'm taking a crack at this, a year later... Bearian 01:46, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This example is incorrect, I believe: A for life, then to B, if B does not reach 21 then to C. Stating that C has a contingent remainder is not right. C has a shifting executory interest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Asdunn10 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
