Wendel's A Possessory Estates and Future Interests Primer presents a methodological approach for teaching and learning the basic possessory estates and future interests. This book was specifically designed for use in the first year Property course. It facilitates expedited coverage of possessory estates and future interests (and the Rule Against Perpetuities, if covered). It gives students an analytical approach to mastering the material. The text emphasizes the methodology of analysis by using problems and having the students work through the process of analysis. The text (1) focuses on the six basic possessory estates and their future interests, (2) covers vested versus contingent remainders, (3) examines the most common executory interests, tests, and (4) covers the Rule Against Perpetuities – all in an accessible, student-friendly manner by walking the students through the analytical steps inherent in the analysis.

While Wendel’s A Possessory Estates and Future Interests Primer has always made this abstract, archaic area of Property accessible to students in a student-friendly manner, this edition does an even better job of making that happen. The analytical steps inherent in mastering possessory estates and future interests are broken down even further and covered in a more detailed, step-by-step process that makes this abstract material even more accessible and understandable. Students actually end up enjoying studying possessory estates and future interests.
