Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

In this conveyance, A receives a life estate, and the future interest is a contingent remainder given to A's children who survive A. At the time of A's death, only the children who are alive (B and C) satisfy the condition of survivorship. Therefore, the property is divided among the surviving children at that moment. Reversions or other types of interests do not apply to this scenario because the condition is met upon A's death. The third and fourth answers are incorrect because they misinterpret the legal principles surrounding survivorship under the terms of the conveyance. Answer three incorrectly prioritizes birth order, which is irrelevant in this context. Answer four incorrectly assumes that being born after the conveyance gives C special rights, which is not supported by the conveyance language.
