  • The Anti-Lien: Another Security Interest in Land*
    The Anti-Lien: Another Security Interest in Land* Uriel Reichmant The law recognizes various security interests in land, which are de- signed to provide two distinct advantages over unsecured interests: the right to priority over general creditors in bankruptcy proceedings, and the right to satisfy the debt from a specified parcel of property. This article proposes recognition of an intermediate concept between secured and unsecured debt: an interest in land that secures to some extent the repayment of a debt, but does not possess the twin characteristics of full security interests. This interest in land, the "anti-lien,"1 is a preventive measure; the debtor's power of alienation and power to grant another security interest are suspended while the debt remains outstanding. The anti-lien creditor has no powers or rights other than this passive rem- edy; for all other purposes, he is treated as a simple debt creditor. The few cases that have dealt with contracts containing anti-lien re- strictions have limited the analysis to a narrow question: did the con- tract create an equitable lien (that possesses the characteristics of a traditional security interest) or merely a personal obligation? Framing the question in this way eliminated consideration of the anti-lien alter- native-an alternative that is potentially useful when a regular security interest is unavailable or economically impractical. This paper attempts to explain deficiencies in the application of the equitable lien analysis to the anti-lien situation and argues the case for the anti-lien concept. Just a decade ago, documents evidencing an anti-lien approach were widely used in California.

  • Chapter 6 Summary Ownership of Real Property
    Chapter 6 Summary Ownership of Real Property California Real Estate Principles Estate in land - degree of ownership one holds in the land. Feudal system - all land was once owned by the king/government; Allodial System (USA) - although the government detains some rights, individuals own property without proprietary control of government. Freehold estate - the estate lasts at least a lifetime; leasehold estate - renting or leasing. Types of freehold: • Fee Simple (Fee Simple Absolute) - Owns the bundle of rights – unlimited duration; inheritable. • Fee Simple Defeasible is based on an occurrence of a specified event – conditions. • Fee Tail - Property inherited by a monarch is illegal in the United States. • Life Estate: Voluntary Life Estates or "Conventional Life Estates." o Estate in Reversion • A life estate that is deeded to a life tenant - incomplete bundle of rights during lifetime. • A reversion estate that is retained by the grantor. After death of life tenant, grantor has complete bundle of rights. o Estate in remainder: differs from the above because the remainder estate is given to a third party who is known as the remainderman. After death of life tenant, the remainderman has complete bundle of rights. o Pur Autre Vie (estate in reversion/estate in remainder) - life tenant has the incomplete bundle of rights until a third party dies. o Involuntary Life Estates are legal life estates or marital right. It is not possible to sell the property without the consent of the partner, or to own property in one name only. o Dower - a wife's interest in the husband's property; Curtesy - a husband's interest in a wife's property; Homestead - protection against unsecured debts for the party who did not sign for the loan.

  • Contracts Becomes in the Purchaser with Notice a Specific Duty to Perform the Covenant
    Sec. 3 PRIVATE ADJUSTMENTS S437 contracts becomes in the purchaser with notice a specific duty to perform the covenant. (2) The other theory explains the enforcement of restrictive equitable servitudes as an extension of the legal doctrine of negative easements to new situations. Few if any courts follow either the “contract” theory or the “property” theory of equitable servitudes consistently, but the general view that one takes of the theories may affect results. Thus, the fact that the English courts came not to apply Tulk to affirmative covenants and, as we shall see infra, p. S444, did not allow the benefit of equitable servitudes to be held in gross, may reflect [p*962] a “property” theory of equitable servitudes. In England, as we have seen supra, p. S418, the benefit of an easement may not be held in gross, and courts throughout the Anglo-American world have had difficulty with enforcing easements that compel the holder of the burdened land to do something. See note 3, supra. Other questions the answers to which might depend on whether one espoused a “contract” or a “property” theory of equitable servitudes are: (1) Is the original convenantor still bound on the contract after he or she has sold the land? (The original covenantor is bound as surety where the covenant is contained in a lease. See DKM3, p. 693. By and large, the original covenantor is not bound after he or she has conveyed away a fee estate. 2 A.L.P. § 9.18.) (2) What formalities must be followed in creating the covenant? (You will recall that the Statute of Frauds has different requirements for contracts concerning land and conveyances of interests in land.

  • Risk Management Strategies for Cattlemen
    RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR CATTLEMEN Kurtis Ward – President/CEO www.kisokc.com As a former agricultural loan officer, I witnessed first-hand the effects that the Dairy Herd Buyout Program had on the Cattle Market of 1986. During this time, I became intrigued by cattlemen who used some form of risk management (Futures, Options, Forward Contracting, etc.) as compared to those who did nothing but speculate on the cash market. It didn’t take long to observe which group made better financial and marketing decisions (perhaps that “hedging stuff” that my college professors were teaching was really important after all). This market event caused my loan officer career to be transformed into a new profession as a commodity futures broker who specialized in risk management strategies for cattlemen. However, my naïve belief back then was that everyone else was having this “illumination” about cattle hedging at the same time. In the 1980’s, it was said that less than 5% of cattlemen were involved in risk management. Fifteen years later, things haven’t changed much which is quite surprising when you look at the total dollars now at risk in any cattle operation. After what we’ve seen during the cattle market of the past two years, I truly believe that cattlemen cannot afford to be just cattlemen any longer. Rather, they must first be “businessmen” who incidentally invest their, time, money and livelihood in a cattle operation. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to quickly review the basics of several risk management strategies in a way that is very simplistic so that the foundational hedging precepts can be easily understood.

  • Common Ways to Hold Title
    Common Ways to Hold Title HOW YOU TAKE TITLE - ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS: Title to real property may be held by individuals, either in Sole Ownership or in Co-Ownership. Co-Ownership of real property occurs when title is held by two or more persons. There are several variations as to how title may be held in each type of ownership. The following brief summaries reference seven of the more common examples of Sole Ownership and Co-Ownership. SOLE OWNERSHIP A man or woman who is not married. Example: John Doe, a single man. An Unmarried Man/Woman: A man or woman, who having been married, is legally divorced. Example: John Doe, an unmarried man. A Married Man/Woman, as His/Her Sole and Separate Property: When a married man or woman wishes to acquire title as their sole and separate property, the spouse must consent and relinquish all right, title and interest in the property by deed or other written agreement. Example: John Doe, a married man, as his sole and separate property. CO-OWNERSHIP Community Property: Property acquired by husband and wife, or either during marriage, other than by gift, bequest, devise, descent or as the separate property of either is presumed community property. Example: John Doe and Mary Doe, husband and wife, as community property. Example: John Doe and Mary Doe, husband and wife. Example: John Doe, a married man Joint Tenancy: Joint and equal interests in land owned by two or more individuals created under a single instrument with right of survivorship.

    THE LAW OF PROPERTY SUPPLEMENTAL READINGS Class 14 Professor Robert T. Farley, JD/LLM PROPERTY KEYED TO DUKEMINIER/KRIER/ALEXANDER/SCHILL SIXTH EDITION Calvin Massey Professor of Law, University of California, Hastings College of the Law The Emanuel Lo,w Outlines Series /\SPEN PUBLISHERS 76 Ninth Avenue, New York, NY 10011 http://lawschool.aspenpublishers.com 29 CHAPTER 2 FREEHOLD ESTATES ChapterScope -------------------­ This chapter examines the freehold estates - the various ways in which people can own land. Here are the most important points in this chapter. ■ The various freehold estates are contemporary adaptations of medieval ideas about land owner­ ship. Past notions, even when no longer relevant, persist but ought not do so. ■ Estates are rights to present possession of land. An estate in land is a legal construct, something apart fromthe land itself. Estates are abstract, figments of our legal imagination; land is real and tangible. An estate can, and does, travel from person to person, or change its nature or duration, while the landjust sits there, spinning calmly through space. ■ The fee simple absolute is the most important estate. The feesimple absolute is what we normally think of when we think of ownership. A fee simple absolute is capable of enduringforever though, obviously, no single owner of it will last so long. ■ Other estates endure for a lesser time than forever; they are either capable of expiring sooner or will definitely do so. ■ The life estate is a right to possession forthe life of some living person, usually (but not always) the owner of the life estate. It is sure to expire because none of us lives forever.
