Jane and Henry were married and Jane's father, a farmer, told her and Henry that he had no use for the old pasture north of the meadow. He suggested that they could build a house on the property, saying, "It will be all yours anyhow when I'm gone." Jane and Henry did so, and five years later, Jane and her father had a terrible falling out. Her father changed his will to give all of his property to the Humane Society, and within the year he died. When the executor of the will read its terms, he began proceedings to evict Jane and Henry from the property and to sell their house. Discuss the legal issues raised in this scenario.

Gifford and Harmony are not married to each other, but they share the ownership of Idyllic Apartments. When they acquired the apartment building, they agreed in writing that if one dies, the other inherits his or her interest. Are Gifford and Harmony concurrent owners? If so, in what type of concurrent ownership are their rights held? If not, how is their ownership classified? Jocelyn leases an apartment for a one-year term. If Jocelyn moves out before the end of the term, what happens to the leased apartment?
For each of the following occurrences, identify the ownership interest of the parties or their action in terms of its effect on the property (or both where appropriate). 1. Tom is a widower. His only major asset is a farm valued at $350,000. He has, on occasion, leased all the land that produces corn and wheat. He has four children and wants to make sure each child shares equally in the farm. He also wants to be assured that he can live on the farm undisturbed for the rest of his life. He executes a deed that states that his children will not receive title or possession of the farm during his lifetime. 2. Assume that Tom from situation #1 has had a falling out with all of his children and now wants to leave the farm to his friend, William. Tom wants William to have the property, but only during William's lifetime. 3. Assume from situation #1 that after Tom dies, William gets the idea that there is oil in the farm. He hires a drilling company, and the company finds very little oil but does manage to spill whatever oil it finds to the extent that the premises cannot be used as a farm. 4. Nancy and Ron are married. Nancy executes a will that leaves her entire estate to a local charity. After Nancy dies, Ron goes to court to get a portion of the estate. 5. Assume from situation #4 that Nancy is not married but has two children. She leaves all her property to three of her best friends as joint tenants with the right of survivorship.
