One does not simply convey (or own) Blackacre:
I read a Law School 1st year Property outline (like cliff notes for Law Students) just to get a feel for property law.?ÿ They pose these complex problems, for example:
O conveys "to A for life, then to B if B attains the age of 30."
That is a simple one.?ÿ I didn't really try to figure out all the twists and turns of future interests, life estates, so on and so forth.
Yeah, and in law school you have to determine what the professor wants, depending on what course it is.?ÿ For instance, if this was real property and the current discussion was adverse possession, then you would need to address that a successful adverse possession against a life tenant is not enforceable against "B".?ÿ

This is from Wikipedia:
"Adam, owner of a?ÿfee simple?ÿin Blackacre, conveyed the property "to Bill for life,?ÿremainder?ÿto Charles, provided that if any person should consume alcohol on the property before the first born son of Charles turns twenty-one, then the property shall go to Dwight in fee simple." Assume that neither Bill, Charles, nor Dwight is an heir of Adam, and that Adam's only heir is his son, Edward. Discuss the ownership interests in Blackacre of Adam, Bill, Charles, Dwight and Edward."
I have met many lawyers that brought me to tell that they were trying to make things so complicated so they could have more billable hours.
It is a trip to hear them ramble on about theories of the most improbable situations that will confuse many away from doing what is right.

1. Blackacre
A dark and terrible place where the souls of law students go to die so that they can become lawyers.
O conveys Blackacre to A for the life of B, then, if C is married, to the children of D and their heirs on their mother's side so long as the old oak tree stands. At the time of the conveyance D has no children and is 102 years old.
Characterize the interests and estates of D's unborn children.
2.?ÿblackacre
A horrible place that only lawyers and law students know of.
Adam, owner of a fee simple in Blackacre conveyed the property "to Bill for life, remainder to Charles, provided that if any person should consume alcohol on the property before the first born son of Charles turns twenty-one, then the property shall go to Dwight in fee simple." Assume that neither Bill, Charles, or Dwight is an heir of Adam, and that Adam's only heir is his son, Edward. Discuss the ownership interests in Blackacre of Adam, Bill, Charles, Dwight and Edward.
I think the age of 21 refers to the rule against perpetuities.

We took him to the model train show at Cal Expo on Saturday, he was in heaven. Even got to operate model trains. It is possible to spend thousands on model trains. It was not popular when we had to leave.
