Help, Article too wide

[edit]I note the reference to a need for review. I do not see much wrong with it as it is. My only comment is that I think that the owner of an absolute interest (fee simple) subject to a condition subsequent (even if subject to a gift over) can disentail and thereby bar the condition. This does not apply to a life interest, for example protective trusts where the life tenant has an interest until he alienates it (or purports to), upon which a discretionary trust arises. This is a matter of English law and perhaps does not apply in other jurisdictions. Peterkingiron 18:49, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
The "remainders" section should be merged with this entry. Under U.S. Common Law, remainders are future interests granted to a third person. As they are another species of future interest, the entries should be combined under the "future interests" heading.
Five types?
[edit]The article lists five types of future interests: Reversion, Possibility of Reverter, Right of Entry, Remainder, and Executory Interest. However, the article claims there are six (see just above contents box). I assume it's an oversight, but please change it back if I'm wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.74.165.20 (talk) 07:54, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Merger proposal
[edit]Executory interest is presently a very short article with information almost completely overlapping what is already here. Granted, more could be said about it, but if it gets to the point of making this article too large, we can move it back out. bd2412 T 03:47, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Support -- This article is not exceptionally long. One article covering all kinds of future interest would be an improvement. The redirect resulting from the merger should be retained. Peterkingiron (talk) 10:31, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
