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.
