Hello! Would you like some assistance with Property Law?
GOTO:2
GOTO:3
Great! First, let's get your name.
GOTO:4
I'm sorry, there isn't anything more I can help you with. Goodbye.
GOTO:1
Hi, name, what can I help you with? Keep in mind this chatbot helps you if you already have a hypothetical situation ready to analyze.
GOTO:5
GOTO:11
Good choice, name! The Rule Against Perpetuities "RAP" can be difficult! Lots of people struggle with this topic. We'll take it step by step. Are you ready to understand RAP? Make sure you have a conveyance to analyze when going through these steps. This chatbot also assumes you have a grounded understanding of future interests, life estates, and remainders. If you don't, click below.
GOTO:6
GOTO:4
name, The RAP only applies to conveyances where a contingent interest exists. Is there a contingent interest? Make sure you identify what the contingencies are and what interests each individual or class has.
GOTO:7
Then the RAP doesn't apply and you're done! GOTO:1
An interest is contingent if there is a condition precedent to the interest vesting. In other words, there is an occurrence or nonoccurrence of an event prior to the interest vesting.
GOTO:6
An interest vests when there are no conditions precedent. In other words, while the interest may not become immediately possessory, no other events must occur for the interest to be guaranteed to the beneficiary.
GOTO:6
GOTO:6.3.3
A conveyance is a granting of land or personal property from one person or entity to another person or entity.
GOTO:6
GOTO:6.3.2
Great! The next step is to determine when the interest is deemed to be created. This will help you in the next few steps.
GOTO:8
GOTO:8
If the conveyance is made in a will, the interest is created at the death of the testator. If the conveyance is an inter vivos transfer, the interest is created at delivery of the conveyance.
GOTO:7
name you've made it so far! Almost done, but now comes the hard part. Figure out who is the worst-case life in being. Sometimes this is called a measuring life.
GOTO:9
A life in being is an ascertainable individual at the time the interest is created. In other words, they are alive and we know who they are at the time the interest is created. In a conveyance that names an "A" we can assume A was born and a named individual at the time the conveyance was written. Compare that with "A's children" where we may not be sure who all of A's children are until A dies. Therefore, unless we know A is dead, we cannot use his children as a life in being because A can continue to have children until his death. There can be children born after the interest is created, and therefore they cannot be lives in being.
GOTO:9
GOTO:8.3
Sometimes it's difficult to tell. Usually it's the last person who dies that was alive at the creation of the interest for the next class of individuals to receive a vesting interest in the property. It also could be the individual that dies that closes a class gift. A class is a group of people, like someone's children. We won't know who are the children of a person until they die, because we assume a person can have children up to the point of death. Ignore science for now (think in vitro fertilization).
Ok, you can always go here.
GOTO:9
GOTO:8.2
When, after the death of the worst case life in being, does the interest vest?
Then this interest is void because it violates the RAP!
Then this interest is good! Yay!
If the interest vests more than twenty-one years after the death of the worst case life in being at the creation of the interest then it violates the RAP. For example, if an individual needs to reach the age of 30 before the interest vests, and they are born the day the worst case life in being dies, then the interest is void because the interest vests more than twenty-one years after the death of the worst case life in being.
GOTO:10
You've successfully completed evaluating whether an interest violates the RAP. Remember to follow these steps for each interest in the conveyance as if there is no rule.
GOTO:4
I can give you some very common hypothetical conveyances if that would help?
With landlord and tenant issues, this program will cover common landlord breaches. These breaches include Breach of the Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment, Warranty of Habitability, Constructive Eviction, and Partial Actual Eviction. This will help you figure out which of these may be applicable to your issue. Ready to get started?
GOTO:12
GOTO:3
Do you see any of the following in your fact pattern hypothetical?
GOTO:13
GOTO:16
GOTO:14
GOTO:15
If the landlord has done any one of those examples, or something like it, then there is probably a breach of the Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment.
If the landlord has done any one of those examples, or something like it, then there is probably a breach warranty of habitability.
If the landlord has done any one of those examples, or something like it, then there is probably a Constructive Eviction. Remember, the tenant must leave in order for there to be a constructive eviction.
If the landlord has done any one of those examples, or something like it, then there is probably a Partial Actual Eviction. Remember there must be a physical encroachment of a permanent nature on the leased premise in order for there to be a partial actual eviction.
