Future interests have complex classification rules. Our flashcards drill the distinctions between remainders (vested vs. contingent), executory interests, and reversionary interests until they become intuitive.
Are recording acts thoroughly covered?

What about landlord-tenant law?
Our flashcards cover lease types, tenant duties, landlord duties (including implied warranty of habitability), remedies, and security deposits.
Do you cover the Rule Against Perpetuities?
Yes. We break down RAP into manageable pieces, including the rule statement, common violations, and the modern reforms.
