Picture of Detective Columbo
Grutz conveys "to A for life, remainder to A's widow for her life, remainder to the children of A living at his widow's death."
Assume A is alive and is married to Mary at the time of the conveyance.
What does A have?
What does "A's widow" have? Who is A's widow?
What do the children have?
Apply the CL RAP.
Suppose:
The conveyance was made on 1/1/2021
A and Mary divorce in 2030
On 1/1/2045, A marries C, a 22-year old woman who was born in 2023 (and thus is not a life in being at the time of the conveyance)
Lots of after born children are born to A and his wives Mary and C
Suppose instead Grutz did this:
1/1/2021 Grutz conveys to A for his life, and if his wife Mary survives A, then to Mary for her life, then to A's surviving children in FSA.
