§ 6-4.2 Definition of a future estate
Terms Used In N.Y. Estates, Powers and Trusts Law 6-4.2
- Precedent: A court decision in an earlier case with facts and law similar to a dispute currently before a court. Precedent will ordinarily govern the decision of a later similar case, unless a party can show that it was wrongly decided or that it differed in some significant way.
A future estate is an estate limited to commence in possession at a future time, either without the intervention of a precedent estate or on the determination, by lapse of time or otherwise, of a precedent estate created at the same time.
