Estates in Land and Future Interests: A Step-by-Step Guide (Aspen Coursebook Series) 4th Edition

The subject of Future Interests in my Property Class was proving to be very daunting. I have a great Professor, it's just that most law school professors aren't going to spend too much time breaking things down. They go over it briefly and then it's on to the next thing. Mastering the material is solely left to the student. This book has made my study of Estates & Future Interests so much easier. The simple explanations of all of the topics has me wondering why my casebook made it so darn difficult? With this book, the study of future interests is not complicated at all. It just takes learning some key terms and practice, practice, practice. I am so glad I purchased this book and I can already tell that it will be the reason I do well on this topic. Initially, I was reluctant to purchase the book because a previous reviewer said that the charts weren't legible. I'm not sure if that reviewer had bad vision or just needed to change the lenses in their glasses, but the charts in this book are phenomenal. I am recreating them to print and put in my outline. This book was a great investment in my Property grade.

The best supplement I tried for my 1L property class. Really, the only way to learn estates and future interests is just to work through problems until it clicks for you. This book is PERFECT for that! It goes through step-by-step. I learned estates, future interests, and RAP solely from working through this book. I cannot recommend it enough if you're in a 1L property class. Even if you think you understand estates and future interests, this book will really help you figure out all of the nuances and will give you plenty of problems to practice from.

If you are taking Property and you have no idea what a fee simple is, you NEED this book. It will change your life. Not only does it have charts, it explains it in many different ways so that if one way doesn't quite click, you have another few to help you get it. And the charts are extremely helpful. It's the best supplement I've ever used and is a life saver for my property course 1L year.

If you're a 1L taking property you NEED this book and you NEED it as soon as you get to future interests. I feel like I ordered this book too late after my professor had already thoroughly confused me. The only reason it lost a star is because of the cost. This book ONLY covers a very small portion of property law; however, it costs the same (if not more) then some supplements that cover an entire subject/semester.

Very helpful hornbook for studying for property, though, as the name suggests, it only covers future interests. Good problems after each section, and I liked the idea of making the problems into flashcards. I wish the book covered more areas of property (like landlord-tenant), but it was great at what it did cover.

This book is the SOLE reason I got an A in property 1. I had to teach this to myself and did all of the examples in this book 4 or 5 times. I highly recommend buying this! The explanations, examples and definitions fantastic!

this class sucked. Future interests sucked.

Learning property law...Professor: 1 star. This book: 5 star.She would have gotten 2 stars had this book been part of our required reading list rather than an afterthought
