Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few rules of law can so quickly strike terror into the hearts of lawyers as the Rule against Perpetuities. This rule, two centuries in development, is designed to prevent tying up property for too long a time. It can be stated in one sentence, but the great nineteenth-century master of the Rule, John Chipman Gray, required more than 400 scrupulously detailed pages to explain it. For deceptive subtleties and unexpected traps it has no equal. This book views the Rule in the microcosm of Kentucky cases. It shows that perpetuities law in action differs from perpetuities law in the books. It is more chaotic than any writer has ever suggested. While the words of doctrine remain the same, the meaning shifts from case to case. Seemingly the law is working slowly and tortuously to a new and sounder policy base. The book also is designed to provide the practicing lawyer with a simplified statement of the Rule and comprehensive analysis of Kentucky cases. Lastly, the book deals with an analysis of reform, particularly the 1960 Kentucky legislature reform act, based upon a draft by the author.

Excerpt: ...who reaches twenty-five, grandchildren living at the testator's death will take the legacy, although those born afterwards cannot.1 356. There is a special class of cases which seems to form an exception to the rule that a gift not split by the donor cannot be split by the law, but which, from its peculiar character, is not likely to be extended. When personal property is bequeathed to a series of persons not in esse by words which would create successive estates tail if the subject of the gift were real estate, and the first person does not come in esse, the next will take. For instance, suppose the bequest takes this, which is the usual, form: Leaseholds or other personal property are given to A. for life, remainder to the first and other sons of A. in succession, and the heirs male of their respective bodies; and in default of such issue of A., to B. for life, remainder to the first and other sons of B. in succession, and the heirs male of their respective bodies. Here if A. and B. die, and A. has no sons, then the first son of B. will take. 1 See App. G, $ 857 et seq., 1 See these cases discussed, post. 389 et seq., post. 357. Mr. Lewis 1 and Mr. Jarman 2 do not seem to regard this as any exception to the ordinary mode of applying the Rule against Perpetuities. But an exception, it is submitted, it really is.3 If there were no Rule against Perpetuities the limitations over would take effect not merely if A. never had sons, but also if A. had sons whose issue afterwards failed. Now applying the Rule against Perpetuities, the limitation on the latter contingency is certainly too remote, and the limitation over in case A. has in fact no sons can only be preserved in one of the two following ways: -- ...
Download or read book A Short and Happy Guide to the Rule written by Donald Gjerdingen and published by West Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most students view the Rule against Perpetuities as the most difficult rule in law school. Moreover, the Rule is still covered on MBE for Property and MEE for Wills and Trusts and yet few student-centered resources exist. The Little Book on Perpetuities fills this gap. An ideal subject for self-study, this guide covers all key parts of the Rule, including problems for self-testing. It presents the Rule in its historical context but in a fun, engaging, and accessible way that is simple and clear for students to use. It can be used for Property classes, as well as Wills & Trusts and can supplement a casebook or be used as a separate, self-continued unit. Coverage includes: the common-law Rule and all the famous classics traps; modern statutory reforms, including the new generations-based rule by the Restatement Third of Property; recent efforts by some states to abolish the Rule; and the history and policies of the Rule.

Book excerpt: John Chipman Gray plays an unusual role in the study of the law of property. The impact of his scholarly effort continues today from and through the prism of his defining scholarship on the historical origin of the so-called enigmatic Rule against Perpetuities (RAP). His book on the RAP, first published in 1886, became the most authoritative guide on this decidedly complex inheritance of the English common law. His formulaic condensation of the RAP became a foreboding juggernaut for law students to comprehend for more than a century. His scholarship and enduring hegemony on the interpretation and aggressive enforcement of this sacrosanct RAP of property law eventually led to the demands for elimination of some of the excesses of his ensconced articulation of the RAP during the latter part of the Twentieth Century. Most of that action was foreordained by the highly critical and equally humorous scholarship of Professor W. Barton Leach. It was only a matter of time before the academy agreed to provide some revision to lessen the harshness of Gray''s RAP by action of the American Institute of Law and then later by the National Conference of Commissioners. All of these factors led the author into the study of the life and career of John Chipman Gray. He was without doubt one of the Giants of the Harvard Law School during the period when the metaphysical structure of the traditional modern American law school were designed and implemented. The personal experiences and the cultural influences on Professor Gray greatly shaped his perception of the role and function of law in society. Professor Gray was not just a law professor and scholar extraordinaire, but also a founding member of one of the most prestigious law firms of the country--Ropes & Gray--as well as a quintessential Brahmin. He was also directly involved in the Civil War and a half brother of Justice Horace Gray, Jr. These factors reveal an uncommon man passionately engaged in matters of the public forum, who oddly did not seek notoriety, and was at his core a very private person. Lastly, the book provides a special chapter designed to reduce some of the mysticism generally associated with the study of the RAP for students of today. "The name ''John Chipman Gray'' has evoked terror in generations of attorneys... Gray''s famous Rule now lays gravely ill, the victim of an admirable desire for efficiency and a less-than-admirable desire of wealthy clients to reach for immortality, of lawyers and trust companies to make money by abetting them, and by state legislatures happy to race to the bottom. Gerald Moran tells the story of the Rule with verve, but goes far beyond that. His book is a fascinating guide to a towering figure of a formative period in American law. It also has astute observations about the manners, mores, and intellectual climate that shaped our times. I recommend it to lawyers and general readers alike." -- Steven J. Eagle, Professor of Law, George Mason University School of Law "As Professor Moran describes (and as generations of law students came to learn), Gray is the Rule Against Perpetuities. Moran''s biographical essay elegantly traces the personal, family, cultural, social, and professional influences that worked to shape Gray''s approach to the Rule. He thoroughly describes the obvious tension (indeed, contradiction) between Gray the inchoate Realist lawyer and Gray the successful academic purveyor of arid conceptualism. His exploration usefully demonstrates the central importance of the relationship between legal rules and the character and personalities of those who devise and explain the rules. Moran lucidly shows the degree to which the ideology that shapes legal rules is in turn shaped by the personalities and experience of the rule-makers. The result is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of the life, character, and times of an important scholar whose doctrinal influence still endures. Moran''s insightful and sympathetic discussion of Gray''s life and of the influence of that life on legal doctrine is an important and valuable contribution to our own understanding of how legal doctrine develops." -- Charles G. Hallinan, Professor of Law, University of Dayton School of Law "This exciting text breathes new life into the scholarly discussion of the rule against perpetuities. Professor Moran''s contextual approach sheds important light on John Chipman Gray''s explanation of the rule, and contemporizes the debate on the rule''s future efficacy." -- Blake D. Morant, Dean, Wake Forest University School of Law "Moran''s biographical essay succeeds in capturing the relationship between John Chipman Gray''s life experiences and his most notable contributions to property law -- the Rule Against Perpetuities. ... [I]ndividuals seeking either a comprehensive discussion of the RAP or an understanding of John Chipman Gray will benefit from this work." -- The Law and Politics Book Review
