Navigating the complexities of property law can be daunting, especially when it comes to future interests. Imagine inheriting a piece of land, only to find out that your ownership is contingent upon certain conditions. This is where understanding future interests becomes crucial.Exploring Future Interests: Future interests in property law refer to the legal rights to property ownership that will begin in the future, rather than immediately. These interests can be created through wills, trusts, or deeds, and they often involve conditions that must be met for the interest to become possessory.Types of Future Interests:Reversion: This occurs when the original owner retains the right to regain possession of the property after a temporary estate ends. Remainder: This is a future interest given to a third party, which becomes possessory when a life estate or term of years ends. Executory Interest: This is a future interest that cuts short a preceding estate before it would naturally terminate.Why It Matters: Understanding future interests is essential for estate planning and property transactions. It ensures that property is distributed according to the owner's wishes and can prevent legal disputes among heirs or beneficiaries.Future interests in property law are a vital component of estate planning and property management. By grasping these concepts, individuals can make informed decisions about their property and ensure their legacy is preserved.TakeawaysFuture interests can feel overwhelming for law students.Understanding property as a bundle of sticks is crucial.Future interests are not just hopes; they are legal rights.Reversions are vested and automatically return to the grantor.Possibility of reverter leads to automatic termination of the estate.Right of entry requires affirmative action to terminate the estate.Remainders wait for the prior estate to end naturally.Executory interests cut short prior interests and are disruptive.The rule against perpetuities prevents indefinite control over property.Understanding these concepts is essential for effective estate planning.Subscribe Now: Stay informed about the latest in property law and estate planning by subscribing.Property Law, Future Interests, Reversions, Remainders, Rule Against Perpetuities, Legal Education, Law Students, Property Rights, Estate Planning, Legal Concepts

In this episode, Peter Garretson sits down with Ross Centers, CEO of Ethos Space explore his ambitious vision for creating large-scale space infrastructure. The conversation covers the Space Resources program at the Colorado School of Mines, the concept of a planetary sunshade, and Center's work with the Planetary Sunshade Foundation—including how this ethical 'north star' shapes Ethos Space's mission. They dive into critical infrastructure needs including landing pads (to avoid what Center's refers to as 'hypersonic blunderbusses'), refueling stations, and Lunar Data centers. The discussion explores the national security implications of the Moon and the importance of securing the “Strategic Flank” in the Golden Dome framework. The converstion also examines space property rights and the necessity of establishing “facts on the ground,” drawing parallels between Billy Mitchell's historical aviation vision and today's Cislunar space challenges. Finally, they close by discussing the coming transformation of the U.S. Space Force from a “brownwater” force to a deep-space, “bluewater” force.

Explosive update on California tenant laws — what the Legislature quietly did to property rights and how it affects landlords, renters, and anyone building housing. Part 2 breaks down Proposition 10 (2018), AB 1482, SB 267, AB 12, AB 2347, SB 567, and the newest safety protections — what changed, what's next, and how to protect your investment or your home.  Quick summary Prop 10 (Nov 2018) — background on statewide rent control push AB 1482 — Tenant Protection Act (statewide rent cap & cause rules) Impacts on new housing: 5% + CPI cap, eviction cause limits, owner/family move-in rules (SB 567), and substantial remodel exceptions Section 8 changes (SB 267): no summary rejections; limits on using credit history as sole “ability to pay” metric Security deposits (AB 12): max 1 month (furnished or not); limited exceptions for small multi-unit owners Eviction timeline (AB 2347): extends tenant response to UD to 10 business days Fee changes: landlords cannot charge for serving eviction or other legal notices Domestic violence survivor protections (SB 1051 — approved July 2, 2024; effective Jan 1, 2025): landlord must change locks within 24 hours upon written request and cover cost Why you should watch If you own rental property, build housing, or manage units — these rules change revenue, eviction strategy, and rehab math.

This week on The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Ret. MN Supreme Court Justice Barry Anderson interview Prof. Keith Hylton, William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor and Professor of Law at Boston University. Prof. Hylton shares insights from his academic career and the book Laws of Creation: Property Rights in the World of Ideas, which he co-authored. The discussion explores how Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke and Adam Smith helped shape the legal framework for property rights and the free market in the U.S., and how these ideas are central to understanding our modern economy. Prof. Hylton explains the constitutional foundations of American intellectual property (IP) law, Thomas Jefferson's role in establishing the U.S. Patent Office, and how historic inventors like Thomas Edison exemplify American experimentation, innovation, and economic dynamism.  He also covers trade secrets, copyright law, and the tension between protecting inventors' individual patent rights and today's calls for free access to copyrighted online content. Hylton addresses global challenges, including cyber theft and piracy, and reflects on key legal cases that define international IP enforcement. Prof. Hylton also shares three major takeaways he hopes high school and undergraduate students will understand about the importance of intellectual property rights in sustaining American rule of law, innovation, and economic growth. He concludes with a reading from his book, Laws of Creation: Property Rights in the World of Ideas.

Are California lawmakers chipping away at your property rights? In this seminar, we break down two major changes impacting homeowners, HOAs, and landlords statewide. Learn what California Assembly Bill 130 means for HOA enforcement and how AB 1620 could force landlords to rent renovated units at legacy rates. If you're a homeowner, HOA board member, property manager, or landlord, this is a must-watch. What we cover: AB 130 (effective July 1, 2025): HOAs are now capped at $100 for most fines tied to CC&Rs, with no late fees or interest allowed. The only exception is for documented, immediate health or safety risks. We'll explain what qualifies, why HOAs must comply immediately, and what policy updates are required across California's 50,000 HOAs. We'll also discuss practical implications like “18-wheeler screens” and “boat screens” and how enforcement changes under the new cap. AB 1620: A tenant with permanent mobility disabilities can move to a comparable or smaller unit in the same building without losing their rent level. We'll walk through a real-world scenario: a landlord renovates a first-floor unit, only to be required to offer it at the prior (lower) rent. We'll outline who's covered, what “comparable” means, and the financial risks for owners planning upgrades.

"Thanks to Bitcoin anyone can use the asymmetric defenses of cryptography to their economic advantage. A symmetry is at the heart of Bitcoin security. Hard to guess. Easy to verify. Cooperation is rewarded. Conflict is not. Your keys are private. The ledger is public. Defense is cheap. Disruption is incredibly costly.It is the asymmetry and cost that gives rise to the crypto economical game theory of Bitcoin. Peaceful and voluntary cooperation. Mutually assured preservation. Sovereignty through cryptography."~ Dergigi Bitcoin is more than software - it's a living, endless game of words, math, and values.

Daniella Bassi tells the remarkable story of the Arctic fur trade as a real-world case study in stateless order. In early 20th-century northern Canada, Inuit and European traders conducted peaceful, prosperous exchange, without government law or enforcement, guided instead by mutual respect, property rights, and natural law.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 26, 2025.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

Jon Hartley and Richard Epstein discuss Richard's career as a legal scholar, the takings clause, state monopoly power, Richard's property-driven theory of constitutional interpretation (how it contrasts with the originalism of Antonin Scalia and Robert Bork as well as living constitution theories), the Coase theorem, and classical liberalism versus anarcho-capitalism. Recorded on July 16, 2025. ABOUT THE SERIES Each episode of Capitalism and Freedom in the 21st Century, a video podcast series and the official podcast of the Hoover Economic Policy Working Group, focuses on getting into the weeds of economics, finance, and public policy on important current topics through one-on-one interviews. Host Jon Hartley asks guests about their main ideas and contributions to academic research and policy. The podcast is titled after Milton Friedman‘s famous 1962 bestselling book Capitalism and Freedom, which after 60 years, remains prescient from its focus on various topics which are now at the forefront of economic debates, such as monetary policy and inflation, fiscal policy, occupational licensing, education vouchers, income share agreements, the distribution of income, and negative income taxes, among many other topics.

The word "democratic" is supposed to soften the blow of socialism, with Zohran Mamdani's campaign being the latest to fool the voters. In reality, there is no softening real socialism, as it depends upon coercion, violence, and ultimately becomes totalitarian.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/democratic-socialism-totalitarianism

Marc and former State Senator John Lamping analyze recent Missouri legislation signed by Governor Kehoe, focusing on the economic and political impacts. They discuss the contentious stadium funding bill benefiting the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, highlighting how the St. Louis Cardinals stand to gain hundreds of millions for stadium upgrades despite sitting out the negotiations. Lamping shares his candid view on the Chiefs and Royals potentially moving to Kansas and expresses indifference toward the Royals. They also cover Kehoe's surprising mix of consensus-driven politics—supporting both school choice and increased public school funding—and recent laws such as the K-12 cell phone ban and free in-state college tuition for first responders' kids. The conversation critiques government expansion masked as incentives, stresses the importance of property rights, and warns of looming fiscal constraints due to Medicaid funding changes. The segment closes with a nod to Ethan's contribution to the show's new intro music.

X: @GarrettInExile @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Tom Garrett, a leading attorney, currently serving as a legislator in the Commonwealth of Virginia and former Assistant Attorney General. While serving in the US Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee and Homeland Security Committee. An expert on Iran and the Middle East, Tom Garrett's analysis and insights are enlightening as America's foreign policy and national security concerns are focused on a strategic region adversely impacted by Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism. Our conversation is focused on: The US airstrikes authorized by President Trump targeting Iran's nuclear sites and the realities on the ground within the Middle East. Lessons Learned in the Middle East | The next step as calls for "regime change in Tehran" grow louder within the Iranian diaspora, and the importance of an organic grown opposition in Iran to revolt, rather than foreign intervention. The rise of socialism in America's major cities. Ten percent of NYC voters choose a socialist with anti-Semitic views as the official Democratic Party's NYC mayoral candidate for the November 2025 election. Rise of Socialism in America | Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist embracing radical views which undermine the U.S. Constitution would be the first Muslim to lead the nation's largest city if elected. His chants for a "free Palestine" and the public call to "Globalize the Intifada" - a slogan used by pro-Palestinian activists to call for widespread violence against Jews and Israel has raised serious concerns from within New York and around the country. Focusing on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as it carries out its responsibilities in arresting illegal immigrants involved in criminality. On the efforts of ICE within Virginia: “We are now through over 2,000 arrests as part of the Virginia Homeland Security Task Force. It's working, and most importantly, we're getting really tough bad guys off the street.” - Governor Glen Youngkin, Virginia In addition to the conversation on US airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites authorized by President Trump and the reaction by Democrat leaders on the Hill, Tom Garrett also highlights the challenges we face within America as New York City's democrat voters elect a staunch socialist as its candidate for this November's mayoral election. Tom Garrett is a US Army veteran and served in locations including the perilous Balkan region during the 1990s right after the Dayton Peace Accords were signed. He served as Assistant Attorney General, Commonwealth of Virginia. In 2016, Honorable Tom Garrett was elected to represent Virginia's 5th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.

Eric Claeys’ new publication, Natural Property Rights, presents a novel theory of property based on individual, pre-political rights. The book argues that a just system of property protects people's rights to use resources and also orders those rights consistent with natural law and the public welfare. Drawing on influential property theorists such as Grotius, Locke, Blackstone, and early American statesmen and judges, as well as recent work in normative and analytical philosophy, the book shows how natural rights guide political and legal reasoning about property law. It examines how natural rights justify the most familiar institutions in property, including public property, ownership, the system of estates and future interests, leases, servitudes, mortgages, police regulation, and eminent domain. Thought-provoking and comprehensive, the book challenges leading contemporary justifications for property and shows how property both secures individual freedom and serves the common good.Join this Talks with Authors program to discuss all this and more!Featuring:Prof. Eric Claeys, Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason UniversityJ.

I, Stewart Alsop, had a fascinating conversation on this episode of Crazy Wisdom with Mallory McGee, the founder of Chroma, who is doing some really interesting work at the intersection of AI and crypto. We dove deep into how these two powerful technologies might reshape the internet and our interactions with it, moving beyond the hype cycles to what's truly foundational.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 The Intersection of AI and Crypto01:28 Bitcoin's Origins and Austrian Economics04:35 AI's Centralization Problem and the New Gatekeepers09:58 Agent Interactions and Decentralized Databases for Trustless Transactions11:11 AI as a Prosthetic Mind and the Interpretability Challenge15:12 Deterministic Blockchains vs. Non-Deterministic AI Intents18:44 The Demise of Traditional Apps in an Agent-Driven World35:07 Property Rights, Agent Registries, and Blockchains as BackendsKey InsightsCrypto's Enduring Fundamentals: Mallory emphasized that while crypto prices are often noise, the underlying fundamentals point to a new, long-term cycle for the Internet itself. It's about decentralizing control, a core principle stemming from Bitcoin's original blend of economics and technology.AI's Centralization Dilemma: We discussed the concerning trend of AI development consolidating power within a few major players. This, as Mallory pointed out, ironically mirrors the very centralization crypto aims to dismantle, potentially shifting control from governments to a new set of tech monopolies.Agents are the Future of Interaction: Mallory envisions a future where most digital interactions aren't human-to-LLM, but agent-to-agent. These autonomous agents will require decentralized, trustless platforms like blockchains to transact, hold assets, and communicate confidentially.Bridging Non-Deterministic AI with Deterministic Blockchains: A fascinating challenge Mallory highlighted is translating the non-deterministic "intents" of AI (e.g., an agent's goal to "get me a good return on spare cash") into the deterministic transactions required by blockchains. This translation layer is crucial for agents to operate effectively on-chain.The Decline of Traditional Apps: Mallory made a bold claim that traditional apps and web interfaces are on their way out. As AI agents become capable of generating personalized interfaces on the fly, the need for standardized, pre-built apps will diminish, leading to a world where software is hyper-personalized and often ephemeral.Blockchains as Agent Backbones: We explored the intriguing idea that blockchains might be inherently better suited for AI agents than for direct human use. Their deterministic nature, ability to handle assets, and potential for trustless reputation systems make them ideal backends for an agent-centric internet.Trust and Reputation for Agents: In a world teeming with AI agents, establishing trust is paramount. Mallory suggested that on-chain mechanisms like reward and slashing systems can be used to build verifiable reputation scores for agents, helping us discern trustworthy actors from malicious ones without central oversight.The Battle for an Open AI Future: The age-old battle between open and closed source is playing out again in the AI sphere. While centralized players currently seem to dominate, Mallory sees hope in the open-source AI movement, which could provide a crucial alternative to a future controlled by a few large entities.Contact Information*   Twitter: @McGee_noodle*   Company: Chroma
