Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! In this episode, we're diving into a topic from Property Law -- Present and Future Estates. In this first part of a two-part series, we discuss the default property interest, the fee simple absolute and defeasible fees, along with the corresponding future interests. Next week we'll cover life estates, reversions, and remainders.

In this episode, we discuss:

The definition of present estates and future interests
The fee simple absolute
Types of defeasible fees
Shifting and springing executory interests
Examples illustrating the above concepts
