In this episode of The Legal Minute, we tackle one of the most dreaded topics in property law — the Rule Against Perpetuities — and break it down in plain English.
You’ll learn why the law limits how long someone can control property from beyond the grave, and what that confusing legal phrase “life in being plus twenty-one years” really means. We’ll simplify the rule’s purpose: preventing endless delays in property ownership and keeping land free to transfer.
If you’re a law student, bar exam taker, or just curious about this classic legal puzzle, this 60-second episode will make it click.
Stay tuned, and in one minute, you’ll understand why forever just isn’t allowed in property law.
