Land Investing 101: Fee Simple Subject To An Executory Interest

Okay, the secret is out.  I am currently studying for my bar exam.  In the process, I must study real property law and other areas of law that pertain to real estate and may be helpful to a real estate or land investor.  I figured since I was studying anyways, I might as well put each topic one video at a time.  I also started a YouTube channel which can be seen here.

This is very simple to other defeasible fees except that the interest in land has duration language that upon the happening of a certain event the interest in the land or real estate is transferred to a third party.  This means that a fee simple subject to an executory interest will automatically divest in  favor of a third person that was not part of the original transfer.  For example, if I convey to my brother "this land for so long as it is used as a farm, and if no longer used as a farm, than to the Red Cross"...this conveyance creates a fee simple subject to an executory interest because upon the happening of a stated event (my brother no longer farming the property) it goes automatically to the Red Cross.  Let me explain further....
