Property OwnershipIntermediateAlaska Exam

Under Alaska's 'Rule Against Perpetuities,' future interests in real property must vest:

AWithin the lifetime of the grantor, which is broadly consistent with standard practice statewide
BWithin 21 years after the death of a relevant life in being at the creation of the interestCorrect
CWithin 99 years of creation
DImmediately upon creation

Why Within 21 years after the death of a relevant life in being at the creation of the interest Is Correct

Answer B: Within 21 years after the death of a relevant life in being at the creation of the interest

The Rule Against Perpetuities limits the duration of future interests in property. An interest must vest (become certain) within a life in being at the creation of the interest plus 21 years, or the interest is void.
