5 98 Estates, Powers and Trusts LAW part 5 rules governing future estates Characteristics of future estates Future estates are descendible, devisable and alienable, in the same manner as estates in possession Power of appointment not to prevent vesting The existence of an unexecuted power of appointment does not prevent the vesting of a future estate, limited in default of the execution of the power Future estates in the alternative Two or more future estates may be created to take effect in the alternative, so that if the first in order fails to vest, the next in succession is substituted for it and takes effect accordingly Implication of cross remainders between tenants in common When a limitation, if contained in a will, would create a tenancy in common, with implied cross remainders, a like limitation, if contained in a deed, has the same effect Future estate valid though contingency improbable A future estate, otherwise valid, shall not be void on the ground of the improbability of the contingency on which it is limited to take effect Meaning of heirs, distributees and issue in certain remainders When a remainder is limited to take effect on the death of any person without heirs, heirs of the body, distributees or issue, the word heirs, heirs of the body, distributees or issue mean such persons living at the death of the person named as ancestor Posthumous children (a) Where a future estate is limited to children, distributees, heirs or issue, posthumous children are entitled to take in the same manner as if living at the death of their ancestors.

6 6-6.3 Article When future estates are defeated A future estate cannot be defeated or barred by any disposition or other act of the owner of the precedent estate, nor by the destruction of such precedent estate by disseizen, forfeiture, surrender, merger or otherwise; but a future estate may be defeated in any manner which the creator has provided Non-destructibility of remainders subject to a condition precedent A remainder is not defeated by the determination of a precedent estate before the occurrence of the condition precedent on which the remainder was limited to take effect. If such condition precedent subsequently occurs, the remainder takes effect in the same manner and to the same extent as if the precedent estate had continued Future rents and profits subject to rules governing future estates A disposition of the rents, profits or other income from property accruing at any time subsequent to the execution of the instrument creating such disposition is subject to the rules governing future estates in property. part 6 disposition OF community property rights at death Application This part applies to the disposition at death by a married person of all or the proportionate part of any personal property wherever situated which was acquired as or became, and remained, community property under the laws of another jurisdiction, and any personal property wherever situated and real property situated in this state which was acquired with the rents, issues or income of, the proceeds from, or in exchange for, property acquired as or which became, and remained, community property under the laws of another jurisdiction, or property traceable to that community property Rebuttable presumptions In determining whether this part applies to specific property acquired during a marriage by a spouse of that marriage the following rebuttable presumptions apply: (a) Property acquired while domiciled in a jurisdiction under whose laws property could then be acquired as community property is presumed to have been acquired as or have become, and remained, property to which this part applies; and (b) Property acquired while domiciled in a jurisdiction under whose laws property could not then be acquired as community property, title to which was taken in a form which created rights of survivorship, is presumed not to be property to which this part applies Disposition upon death Upon the death of a married person, one-half of the property to which this part applies is the property of the surviving spouse and is not subject to testamentary disposition by the decedent nor to the laws of descent and distribution. One-half of that property is the property of the decedent and is subject to testamentary disposition by the decedent or the law of descent and distribution. With respect to property to which this part applies, the one-half of the property which is the property of the decedent is not subject to the surviving spouse s right to elect against the will. Estates_15-May.indd 99 5/2/13 7:32:22 PM
7 100 Estates, Powers and Trusts LAW Perfection of title (a) If the title to any property to which this part applies was held by the decedent at the time of death, title of the surviving spouse may be perfected by an order of the surrogate s court having jurisdiction over the decedent s estate or by execution of an instrument by the personal representative or the testamentary beneficiaries or distributees of the decedent with the approval of the court, upon due notice to all persons who would be required to be served with process in a proceeding under section twenty-two hundred ten of the surrogate s court procedure act. Neither the personal representative nor the court has a duty to discover or attempt to discover whether property held by the decedent is property to which this part applies, unless a written demand is made by the surviving spouse or the spouse s successor in interest. (b) If the title to any property to which this part applies is held by the surviving spouse at the time of the decedent s death, the personal representative or a testamentary beneficiary or distributee of the decedent may institute an action to perfect title to the property. The personal representative has no fiduciary duty to discover or attempt to discover whether any property held by the surviving spouse is property to which this part applies, unless a written demand is made by a testamentary beneficiary, distributee or creditor of the decedent Purchaser for value or lender (a) If a surviving spouse has apparent title to property to which this part applies, a purchaser for value or a lender taking a security interest in the property takes his interest in the property free of any rights of the personal representative or a testamentary beneficiary or distributee of the decedent. (b) If a personal representative or a testamentary beneficiary or distributee of the decedent has apparent title to property to which this part applies, a purchaser for value or a lender taking a security interest in the property takes his interest in the property free of any rights of the surviving spouse. (c) A purchaser for value or a lender need not inquire whether a vendor or borrower acted properly. (d) The proceeds of a sale or creation of a security interest shall be treated in the same manner as the property transferred to the purchaser for value or a lender Effect and construction of part This part does not effect rights of creditors nor prevent married persons from severing or altering their interests in property nor authorize testamentary dispositions of property otherwise limited or prohibited by law, and shall be so applied and construed as to effectuate its general purpose to make uniform the law with respect to the subject of this part among those states which enact similar legislation Short title This part may be cited as The New York uniform disposition of community property rights at death act.
