Nebraska Fee Simple Statute


76-104. Interest transferred by effective conveyance; fee simple; special words unnecessary.
An otherwise effective conveyance of property transfers the entire interest which the conveyor has and has the power to convey, unless an intent to transfer a less interest is effectively manifested. No words of inheritance or other special words are necessary to transfer a fee simple.

 

So, what result in Nebraska today if Grutz, the owner of Blackacre in Fee Simple Absolute, conveys it "to Duncan and his assigns forever"?

Suppose he merely conveys it "to Duncan"?
