Week 4 Discussion Post February 3, 2021On December 31, 2019, Samson had a very lucky day, won the lottery. Samson was married to Sally, and had two minor children: Ned, and Ted. He took his earnings and purchased two pieces of property located on Clear water Beach and Madeira Beach on January 21, 2021. The property located on Clear water beach was Samson and Sally’s marital home and the property had a homestead exemption. On January 31, 2021, Samson had an unlucky day and was bitten by a rare endangered but poisonous spider. Nearing the end of his life, Samson set out to ensure that his friends and family were taken care of after his death. At the time, Samson also had several close friends: Kim and Nicki.Unfortunately, Samson passed away on February 2, 2021. On February1, 2021,prior to his death,Samson recorded the following conveyances “I convey the property located on Madeira Beach to Kim for life, then to Nicki.”On February 3, 2021, Kim slipped on a banana peel and fell into a coma;she passed away a few days later on February 5, 2021.On February 5, 2021, Nicki recorded the following conveyance “I convey the property located on Madeira Beach to my children,Thelma and Louise,as joint tenants with the right of survivor-ship.” Thelma and Louise fought incessantly but were happy to be new property owners. Answer the following questions. You should consider the questions independently from one another and you should presume that any conveyance discussed was properly formed, executed, and recorded.
1.Discuss the interest that Sally, Ned,and Ted may have in the Clear water Beach home, if any.
2.Discuss the interest, if any, that Kim and Nicki have according to the conveyance of Madeira Beach recorded by Samson.
3.Consider Nicki’s conveyance to Thelma and Louise.Is it a valid Joint Tenancy?
4.Imagine that Louise decides to sell her interest in the Clear water Beach to fund her dream of driving cross-country in a convertible. What effect, if any, would that have on Thelma’s interest? What type of interest would Louise’s purchaser have?
