Future Estates Flow Chart

This flowchart outlines the different types of present estates and future interests in property. It shows that a present estate can be a life estate, which is either absolute or defeasible, or a fee simple estate, which can be defeasible. A future interest can be held by the grantor or a third party/grantee. Common future interests include possibilities of reverter, rights of entry, executory interests, reversions, and remainders. Remainders can be contingent, vested subject to complete divestment, vested subject to partial divestment, or indefeasibly vested.
