Hello,

I read your article on Shelley's case and found it very instructive. The one question I have is, what does it mean that the rule is overruled in most jurisdictions? Does it refer to the fact that transferors may now give a life estate and a remainderman rather than just a fee simple, or does it rather mean that the words "to X and his heirs" are no longer interpreted as transferring a fee simple? (because if it's the latter, my property class was very unclear on this topic).

Thanks!
