No, I need to know what this thing is :-). Seriously, I've heard this thing before "not encumbering the fee" or something like that which means one cannot leave conditions on property forever. But I've never understood how this can be true, but at the same time you have people like some dead rich woman from New Yorks who's esatate is suing the opera there right now because they used her money to do a 'modern' version of an opera instead of a 'traditional' version.
And people leave land for particular purposes and esates sue if the recipient varies from the prescribed use. so how about Wills, Trusts, & Estates 101 for the kid?
