The problems are numbered consecutively as they are in DKM4. The page number in DKM4 is followed by number of the class outline and the paragraph number in the outline in which they are found. Fully describe the interest of all parties named or described in the following instruments in a common-law jurisdiction as of the effective date of the instrument (recall that a devise is not effective until the devisor’s death). Assume that the grant or devise adequately describes land of which grantor/devisor is solely seised in fee simple absolute. Assume that the statute Quia Emptores is in effect, that there is a statute of wills, and that there is a statute that states that all grants are assumed to be in fee simple unless the contrary is expressed. (The answers to the first five problems also give the results if such a statute were not in effect.) G = G grants D = D devises —> = the land to

They are probably best done after you know something about remainders and executory interests. Consider the following factual variations for both nos. 6 and 7. (a) A has no issue; A dies (b) A has issue; A dies (c) A has issue; A —> C (d) A has no issue; A —> C Consider the following legal variations for both nos. 6 and 7. (i) South Carolina and two others (fsc, i.e., a fee simple conditional) (ii) Del., Me., Mass., R.I. (ft, in R.I. only for grants) (iii) Conn., Ohio, R.I. (ft for one generaion, in R.I. only for devises) (iv) 6 states (le + rdr, i.e., a life estate plus a remainder) (v) 25 states (fs, i.e., a fee simple, about half giving the form of the grant no effect) (vi) 25 states (fs, i.e., a fee simple, about half allowing the heirs, devisees, or remainderman to take by way of executory interest if the first donee in tail dies without issue) Solve the following problems: (α) 6ai and 7ai (i.e., D —>ft A; A has no issue; A dies; legal variation i, and D —>ft A —>rdr B; A has no issue; A dies; legal variation i [S.C. plus two]).
