Property Ownership

In Minnesota, a 'reversion' in real property law means:

AThe property reverts to the government through escheat
BThe grantor retains a future interest in property conveyed for a limited estate, which returns to the grantor when the estate ends✓ Correct
CA foreclosed property reverts to the mortgage lender
DA leasehold property reverts to the tenant after lease expiration

Explanation

A reversion is the future interest retained by the grantor when they convey a lesser estate (such as a life estate). When the life estate ends, the property reverts to the grantor (or their heirs). A reversion differs from a remainder, which is a future interest given to a third party rather than retained by the grantor.
