This week on Hull on Estates, Stuart Clark and Grey Tiansheng Wen discuss the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal's recent decision in CPC Networks Corp. v McDougall Gauley LLP, 2023 SKCA 90, a case with significant implications for lawyer file ownership and production obligations. The decision explores what portions of a lawyer's file belong to the client versus what remains the property of the law firm, and how that distinction impacts disclosure—particularly when former clients request their full legal file or where litigation is ongoing. Stuart and Grey examine the Court's clarification of key legal principles, including: The distinction between documents prepared for the client's benefit and those created solely for internal firm use; The burden on lawyers to identify and justify withheld materials; And the recognition that document ownership does not necessarily determine production obligations in discovery.

In the face of climate change, the urgency for decarbonisation in public sector estates has never been more critical. With public sector estates producing over 9 million tonnes of CO2 annually, the journey towards achieving net zero by 2050 is a shared responsibility that demands immediate action and innovative solutions.In this panel discussion, experts from the NHS, local councils, and housing groups gathered to explore how local authorities can future-proof their estates through low carbon heating, energy efficiency retrofits, and the deployment of smart technologies. The conversation highlighted the vital role of funding, particularly through the public sector decarbonisation scheme, which has committed over £2 billion to support these initiatives.One of the standout projects discussed was the retrofitting of homes on the Dudley Fields Estate in Bloxwich. Adrian Andrew from Walsall Council shared insights into the comprehensive range of structural and environmental improvements being made to 85 units in collaboration with Walsall Housing Group. This project not only aims to bring older homes, some dating back to 1937, up to net zero standards but also serves as a model for future retrofitting efforts across the region.The challenges of retrofitting historic buildings were also a focal point of the discussion. Tricia Ayrton from Rochdale Borough Council proudly shared her experience with the renovation of Rochdale Town Hall, the first grade one listed building in the UK to install air source heat pumps. These efforts demonstrate that while technical challenges exist, ambitious projects can indeed be accomplished with the right planning and partnerships.As the conversation unfolded, the panellists emphasised the importance of communication and public engagement. Ensuring that residents understand the benefits of decarbonisation is crucial for garnering support and participation. The messaging around these initiatives must resonate with the community, highlighting not just environmental benefits but also the potential for reduced energy bills and improved living conditions.The panel concluded with key takeaways, stressing the need for a pragmatic approach to transitioning facilities into net zero. Janet Smith from the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust encapsulated this sentiment, advocating for a strategic plan that prioritises core facilities while considering the long-term sustainability of new builds.As we move forward in this critical journey towards decarbonisation, the insights shared by our panellists provide a roadmap for local authorities and organisations to follow. By embracing innovation, fostering partnerships, and engaging with the community, we can collectively work towards a more sustainable future for public sector estates. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The MHP Broker's Tips and Tricks podcast, Maxwell Baker, president of The Mobile Home Park Broker, briefly interviewed company broker Jeff Dodge regarding his closing of an expansive Tallahassee, Florida mobile home park. As with every Tips and Tricks podcast episode, this one is brought to you by The MHP Broker's proprietary Community Price Maximizer. Use this four-step system to get the highest price possible for your mobile home park or RV community when you sell it through The MHP Broker. Guaranteed. Call Max for details. Here Are the Show Highlights: Jeff explained that one potential challenge to this Tallahassee Mobile Home Park Estates deal was that the owners lived in another state and weren't present during most of the transaction. In fact, it was their physical distance from the park that motivated their decision to sell, and to invest the proceeds closer to their home. (Jeff, 1:04) This transaction proves the point that The MHP Brokers can transact a sale whether or not the owners are present, from running drones to calculate footage to handling the underwriting and all contact with buyers. (Max, 1:278) The park had 90 percent occupancy, with 20 lots on about 15.5 acres. There were 11 tenant-owned homes and 8 park-owned homes, with one unoccupied home and one vacant lot. Being part of the thriving major city of Tallahassee and having city water and paved roads throughout, and plenty of room for expansion on those fifteen city acres, there was a lot of buyer interest. As a result, there were multiple offers, and the one they went with was a buyer who owned other parks in the area, and the brokers had worked with him in the past. The buyer was able to get bank financing, and the deal closed promptly. (Jeff, 2:06) Well, there was one little hitch. A lawyer forgot to include his fee, so MHP Broker had to do a little price haggling at the end. That proved a little harrowing for a while, but it all worked out fine in the end. (Max, 2:58) What Jeff learned (or relearned) from the transaction was that unforeseen issues can come up at any time. Sometimes you have to be creative, but the issues can all be dealt with if you think it out, and the transaction caan close to everyone's satisfaction. (Jeff, 3:30) The Mobile Home Park Broker won't let your deal go south. They've got tons of experience keeping deals on track and closing to the satisfaction of all parties. And you don't even have to be on the scene while they handle your transaction. So reach out to Jeff Dodge, Max Baker or other team members at The MHP Broker, (678) 932-0200. Or drop them a line at info@themhpbroker.com. Power Quotes in This Episode: “We had a little bit of drama at the closing when one of our attorneys forgot to add his fee, so we had to negotiate that out a little bit. Everybody got a little fluffy-tailed, but ultimately, Jeff was able to do the negotiation and get that closing. So yeah, it was a little scary there at the end, because everybody was getting all up in hands about it, but we were able to get it done.” (Max, 2:58) “Even though issues can arise any time up until closing…we can always find a good resolution and…sometimes we have to get creative. You know, those things can come up at any point and you have to be ready to overcome (them).” (Jeff, 3:30) “I'll just say that we're able to get to the finish line, and both parties were happy with the outcome eventually, and (to) everybody out there listening, we typically can find the right buyer for you. So, just give us the opportunity.” (Jeff, 3:58) “We can get funding. We can find the buyer. We can make the experience white-glove for you (the seller).” (Max, 4:07)

Energy is required at every step of the food and beverage industry supply chain, from growing grapes to bottling and delivery, making it a significant source of emissions and a prime target for climate innovation. On this episode of Earth911's Sustainability in Your Ear, we explore how wineries and other producers are turning to clean, renewable energy to cut costs, reduce emissions, and future-proof their operations. We're joined by James Presta, Business Development Manager at REC Solar, and Mario Trinchero of Trinchero Family Estates, a storied family-run winery in California's Sonoma County. REC Solar and Trinchero teamed up to bring solar energy to one of the country's largest winery operations, showing how collaboration between energy experts and agricultural producers can drive meaningful progress toward a carbon-neutral future. James explains that a decentralized electric grid is emerging—powered by modular solar installations and guided by power purchase agreements (PPAs) that lock in long-term energy prices. When networked together, these individual installations can form a resilient web of renewable power. Solar, wind, and geothermal systems will provide flexibility and stability in a world of climate extremes—if we act quickly enough to scale them. Mario reflects on the motivations behind his family's move to solar: sustainability is not just good business, it's essential to preserving the land and legacy that define the brand. By using solar energy in its winemaking process, Trinchero has cut emissions and operating costs while strengthening its commitment to environmental stewardship.We also delve into the mechanics of PPAs—a modern-day version of the 1930s rural electrification initiative that brought power to American farms. But now, companies like REC Solar—not government agencies—extend the grid through private partnerships. These agreements offer fixed pricing, shared risk, and maintenance contracts, but it's critical to understand the provider's long-term plans. A strong PPA can unlock the potential to electrify entire supply chains, eliminate dependence on diesel generators, and drive innovations where wires have never reached. And the potential for abundant, clean power is growing. What could we build if we end up with more energy than we need? As James and Mario suggest, the answer may be anything we can imagine with the right infrastructure—without the pollution that defined the last century.

In this episode, I sit down with someone who's quickly become both a friend and an inspiration, Kim Vassenelli, the Director of Sales and Marketing at Park Rose Estates in Syracuse, NY.When Kim took over her role, the community was sitting at 54% occupancy. Fast forward to today, and they're celebrating a full house—100% occupancy. We dive into how she made that happen, what a day in her life looks like, and how she balances empathy with sales strategy.Kim shares how “eating the frog” has become her secret weapon for setting the tone each day, how she builds authentic connections with residents and their families, and the creative marketing tactics (like “Seniors With Signs”) that are getting noticed online and in the community.We also discuss the less glamorous aspects of the job, like dealing with paid aggregators and hearing the word “no”, and how Kim has shifted her mindset to turn those challenges into opportunities.Whether you're in senior living or just looking for a fresh take on sales, marketing, and leadership, this episode is packed with practical takeaways and good vibes.
Today, “left” and “right” are the main labels we use to categorise political views, but their origins go back over two centuries. To understand, we have to go back to the French Revolution in 1789. That spring, France's King Louis XVI convened a meeting known as the Estates General, bringing together representatives from three groups, or “Estates”: the clergy, the nobility, and the Third Estate, which represented the common people. A few months later, in July, this assembly became the Constituent Assembly. Where did it all begin? Are there other kinds of political oppositions besides left and right? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is the European Political Community, the continent's intergovernmental organization?

This lecture provides an introduction to key concepts in real property law, focusing on possessory estates and future interests. It begins by defining real property and the bundle of rights associated with ownership, which can be divided into distinct interests. The lecture then details various present possessory estates, including the fee simple absolute (the most complete ownership), defeasible fees (subject to conditions), and life estates (limited to a life), highlighting the associated duty to avoid waste. Subsequently, it explores future interests, distinguishing those retained by the grantor (like reversions and rights of entry) from those transferred to others, such as remainders (vested and contingent) and executory interests (shifting and springing). Finally, the lecture touches upon important rules governing these interests, specifically the Rule Against Perpetuities and the concept of merger of estates, equipping students to analyze complex property scenarios.This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of possessory estates and future interests in real property, focusing on key concepts such as fee simple absolute, life estates, remainders, executory interests, and the rule against perpetuities. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these foundational elements for success in property law, particularly for law school exams and the bar exam. The speakers break down complex legal terms and concepts into digestible segments, making it easier for listeners to grasp the intricacies of property ownership and rights.Sound Bites"Understanding how ownership can be carved up.""It's like mastering the grammar of property law.""Executory interests are the rule breakers."TakeawaysUnderstanding ownership in property law is fundamental.Fee simple absolute is the most complete form of ownership.Defeasible fees can be terminated under certain conditions.Life estates grant possession for the duration of a specific person's life.Life tenants have duties to avoid waste.Remainders are future interests that wait for a prior estate to end.Executory interests can cut short other interests.The rule against perpetuities prevents indefinite control over property.Merger occurs when successive vested estates simplify ownership.Mastering these concepts is crucial for property law success.Real property ownership includes rights to possess, use, exclude, enjoy, and transfer, which can be separated. Fee simple absolute is complete ownership without automatic limitations. Fee simple determinable ends automatically upon an event ("so long as"), while fee simple subject to a condition subsequent allows the grantor to terminate upon a violation ("on the condition that"). A possibility of reverter is the grantor's automatic future interest after a fee simple determinable ends. A vested remainder is held by a known person without conditions precedent beyond the preceding estate's natural end; a contingent remainder is uncertain due to an unknown taker or a condition precedent. Ameliorative waste is a life tenant's value-increasing but character-altering property changes, potentially illegal despite increased value. A springing executory interest divests the grantor's interest to become possessory, cutting short the grantor's estate. The Rule Against Perpetuities prevents indefinite property tying by requiring interests to vest within a reasonable time. Grantor-retained future interests like reversions, possibilities of reverter, and rights of entry are usually exempt from this rule. Merger occurs when one person holds successive vested estates without intervening vested interests, combining the estates and extinguishing the intermediate interest.possessory estates, future interests, real property, fee simple absolute, life estates, remainders, executory interests, rule against perpetuities, merger, property law
Deciding how to split up your wealth among loved ones and family can be quite daunting and confusing, but creating a will helps to iron out any confusion over how your wealth is divided when you pass away. But, what happens to your estate if you are single when you die?Joining Seán to discuss is John Costello, Solicitor with Noble Law and Specialist in Wills and Administration of Estates.
This lecture covers possessory estates (present rights to land) and future interests (rights that vest later) in real property law. Real property includes land and its fixtures; ownership comprises a bundle of rights (possession, use, exclusion, enjoyment, transfer).Present possessory estates include:Fee Simple Absolute: The most complete ownership, enduring indefinitely, subject to government powers. Freely transferable during life or by will.Defeasible Fees: May be terminated upon a specific event.Fee Simple Determinable: Ends automatically upon the event ("so long as"); grantor retains a possibility of reverter.Fee Simple Subject to Condition Subsequent: Does not end automatically; grantor has a right of entry (power of termination) to reclaim possession if the condition is violated ("on the condition that").Life Estates: Possession lasts for a measuring life. The life tenant must avoid waste (voluntary, permissive, ameliorative).Future interests can be retained by the grantor or conveyed to a third party:Grantor's Interests:Reversion: Retained when conveying a lesser estate ("to A for life").Possibility of Reverter: Follows a fee simple determinable (automatic).Right of Entry (Power of Termination): Follows a fee simple subject to condition subsequent (requires action).Third-Party Interests (Remainders): Follow nondefeasible estates.Vested Remainder: Given to an ascertainable person, not subject to conditions precedent ("to A for life, then to B").Vested Remainder Subject to Open: Given to a class that may expand ("to A for life, then to the children of B").Contingent Remainder: Either to an unascertainable person or subject to a condition precedent ("to A for life, then to B's first child to graduate college").Third-Party Interests (Executory Interests): Divest a prior interest.Shifting: Divests a transferee's interest ("to A, but if used commercially, to B").Springing: Divests the grantor's interest ("to A upon returning from service").The Rule Against Perpetuities prevents property from being tied up indefinitely; generally, an interest must vest within 21 years after the death of a life in being. It applies to contingent remainders, executory interests, and vested remainders subject to open.Merger occurs when the same person acquires successive vested estates, extinguishing intervening interests.Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing property rights. Future lectures will cover concurrent ownership, leasehold estates, and nonpossessory interests.This lecture provides a comprehensive overview of possessory estates and future interests in real property law. It begins with defining real property and the bundle of rights associated with it, followed by an exploration of present possessory estates, including fee simple absolute and life estates. The discussion then transitions to future interests, including remainders and executory interests, and concludes with the rule against perpetuities and the concept of merger.TakeawaysA property interest is more than simply a piece of land.Real property includes the land itself and whatever is affixed to it.The fee-simple absolute is the most complete form of ownership.Life estates grant possession only for the duration of a defined life.Waste refers to the life-tenant's obligation to preserve the property.Future interests are rights to the present or future enjoyment.The rule against perpetuities prevents property from being tied up.Merger occurs when the same person acquires successive vested estates.Understanding these concepts is essential for law school examinations.Sound Bites"A property interest is more than simply a piece of land.""Understanding the fee simple absolute lays the groundwork.""Future interests are rights to the present or future enjoyment."real property, possessory estates, future interests, fee simple absolute, life estates, remainders, rule against perpetuities, merger

JOHANNA DAVID, Adjunct Faculty Member at Hofstra Law School is with us to talk about three estate planning mistakes and how to avoid them. Johanna is a Trusts and Estates lawyer, and a partner at Forchelli, Deegan, and Terrana. She's also the adjunct professor of law at Hofstra University. We're going to talk a little bit about mistakes that we see in estate planning and the simple things you can do to keep them away from your situation. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/gD_d9J609Vg Three Estate Planning Mistakes Chapters 00:00 The Importance of Estate Planning09:47 Common Mistakes in Estate Planning19:54 Understanding Trusts and Their Benefits24:00 Navigating Elder Care and Estate Planning Outline of "Three Estate Planning Mistakes" Frazer Rice (00:01)Welcome aboard, Joanna. Johanna C. David (00:03) -Three Difficult Planning Stories and What Can We Learn? Hi, thank you. Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate it. Frazer Rice (00:06)Well, happy to have you on because we are now, most people sort of put their estate planning off toward the end of the year, but I have a feeling given where the legislation is going, et cetera, that the crush is going to happen earlier than we think. In the meantime, you and I were talking beforehand about some mistakes that people make from an estate planning perspective and that they're very avoidable. I thought we'd take this opportunity to go into that a little bit. In your practice, maybe let's start with a couple of, or sort of the big ones that you see, ⁓ give us some ideas of some mistakes that people make that really should be avoidable. https://open.spotify.com/episode/57MMskGgp1P3fOVklGt090?si=ISap3Z_YSdqK_zg4-Dlevw Johanna C. David (00:48) - Structure and Other Planning Tactics Sure, absolutely. So the number one mistake that I think that people make is not having the proper estate planning documents. I see this happen time and time again. I don't know if it's because of the stigma. People are afraid to approach estate planning, right? Sometimes it makes your mortality very real. But the biggest estate planning mistake is not having the right documents. Everyone, everyone, I cannot stress, everyone needs to have at least a will, a power of attorney, and a healthcare proxy. And there are people that say, well, you know, I don't really have much, I don't need to do that, or ⁓ everything's gonna go directly to my husband and my children anyway. You know, that's how it works. But that's not exactly the case, right? You and I both know. So, especially if you have young children, young couples definitely want to have those things in place. You want to think about who is going to be the guardian for your child or your children if both of you pass away. And a lot of people don't think about that. And those only cause problems in the long run. I'll give you a quick example if we have time. But ⁓ Frazer Rice (02:02)⁓ please do. Johanna C. David (02:03) - Long Term Planning Issues and Avoiding Problems I remember, this was several years ago. I must have just started practicing and I had been a young attorney. So it was about 15 years ago and a woman came into the office and she and the decedent had been living together for about 30 years. They held themselves out to be married. Now, Frazer, you and I both know that New York does not recognize common law marriage. Frazer Rice (02:30)This is true. Johanna C. David (02:32) - Correcting a Big Will Mistake She was not aware of that. And so they were married for 30 years. Everything was in his name or excuse me, they were not married. They were together for 30 years, held themselves out to be married, not legally married. He owned the co-op apartment. Everything was in his name. Now he had a daughter from a previous marriage, legal marriage that was a strange. And you guessed it, our client did not get along with the daughter. So the father dies and guess who inherits the co-op that ...
The counts, dukes and ultimately kings of Württemberg had risen to the top by winning the genetic lottery. Their eldest sons tended to be competent, some even extremely so, their wives brought in dowries and sometimes entire counties, and they ruled for long enough that the next generation took over when they were ready.But all that falls apart in the 15th century. They are suddenly afflicted with the disease of dynasties, states inherited by babies and buffoons, some of them managing to be both. That would normally be the death nail for a noble House, but not this time. The Landtag, the Estates of Württemberg step in to protect the fledgling state, deposing buffoons when necessary and ruling on behalf of the babies. This is one of the lesser known and even more extraordinary political histories in europe and well worth listening to.And as a bonus we also investigate why the regions around Stuttgart, Mannheim, Karlsruhe and Freiburg have become hubs of technology and precision engineering, an area where there was no coal, no mining or any other natural advantage – except for the wine – no seriously, it was the wine.
