Property Problems- Tips please

[MissNatalie]

My test for Property will consist of problems.
Example: O conveys Blackacre to A for life, remained to B and her heirs.  B then dies intestate without heirs.  A then dies.  Who owns Blackacre?

I'm obviously going through my outline and working out the problems, but does anyone have any advice/tips for the test day?  We are allowed to bring in our notes and book.

Thanks!

When is it?

It's important to show your work on those problems, so get in the habit of writing it all out like, "The words of purchase 'to A' denote A as the grantee of the estate. The words of limitation 'for life' denote a life estate. There are no other words of limitation in the conveyance, therefore A takes possession."
Then do the same with the future interests and the rest.

Take one interest at a time, working from left to right with no skipping around, and you should be good.

And have fun with the rule against perpetuities! I find drawing a timeline helps with those.

The test is next Thursday. Thanks for the tips!
