With Estates in Land and Future Interests: A Step-by-Step Guide, author Linda H. Edwards gives students the extra help they need to understand this particularly difficult area.
The book is carefully crafted to demystify the subject:
- one central graphic identifies the state of the title after a particular conveyance and links various estates to the future interests that follow them, vividly demonstrating the concepts discussed in the text
- uses a step-by-step, process approach to break analytical tasks into smaller, more manageable stages and avoid overwhelming the student
- clear, simple language and short paragraphs and chapters make the text accessible
- an open, attractive design enhanced by graphics facilitates understanding
- allows students to actively engage with material, include problem sets (and answers), study questions, and practice exercises
- a special Vocabulary Appendix allows students a quick and easy way to review specific terms
Instructors will be glad to see that:
- the class-tested materials in the book are especially helpful to visual learners
- while the book can be used alongside any casebook, it is structured to parallel the extremely popular property casebook from Dukeminier and Krier
- the full teaching package includes a Teacher's Manual and PowerPoint slides
