Ok, let’s face it. It was an empty threat. Was I really going to stop posting? No. I just wanted to emphasize that I do take your suggestions into account and enjoy hearing from you. Nothing a little guilt couldn’t accomplish.
Anyway, final numero uno is complete. How do I feel? See the video below.
Everything was going fine until I flipped the page and read the first essay question.
“O conveys Whiteacre to A and his heirs, but if all of A’s children graduate from high school, to A’s firstborn child for life, then to A’s firstborn child’s children, but if A’s firstborn child’s children stop using the land as a farm, to O’s heirs. Assume A has no children.”
While I had studied the possessory estate and future interest stuff, I had never seen anything like this and was vastly unprepared. The only thing that kept going through my head was a quote from Mallrats: “What the hell was that? What is going on here?” In addition to that thought, I had to continuously hold back the urge to puke at the thought of trying to figure this crap out. (Any lawyers out there able to sort this out? Ultimately I came to the conclusion that A got fee simple because the other conveyances were void due to the rule against perpetuities.)
So while I’m glad that the final is over, I’m feeling pretty sore from the shot to the groin that I just took. But fortunately for me, this was a good trial run since I get to do it three more times next week. Woohoo!!!

It would all go to A. He knows that if ALL of his children go to high school, then Whiteacre goes to his first born. But, he's stubborn and doesn't like his first born. So, he holds back his youngest kid, and makes him work at McDonalds for the rest of his life. So, Whiteacre is all his!
