Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

A future interest is an interest in property in which the right to possession or enjoyment of the property is postponed to a future time. Nevertheless, it is a presently existing interest in the property and it is thus part of the total ownership of the property. The fact that a future interest is a presently existing interest implies that it confers present, as well as future, rights and obligations.(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 335)

CONT

A doctrine of estates which measured interests in land in terms of duration and recognized that interests could arise successively as segments of an ultimate estate in fee simple invited the working out of a law of future interests. "A future interest may be described as an interest in land or other things in which the privilege of possession or of enjoyment is future and not present. It should be emphasized that the interest is an existing interest from the time of its creation, and is looked upon as a part of the total ownership of land or other thing which is its subject matter." (Laskin, 1964, p. 327)

Subject field(s)
  • Social Law
  • Pensions and Annuities
CONT

Pension rights give rise to special difficulties in questions of spousal support. Under the Ontario Family Law Act, R. S. O. 1990, c. F. 3, a pension right must be valued as a capital asset that is an entitlement to a future income stream. After retirement, the pension changes from a capital asset into an income asset. When the pension is in pay, in a sense, the pension asset is being liquidated.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit social
  • Pensions et rentes
CONT

Des droits de pension de retraite soulèvent des problèmes particuliers dans le cas de la pension alimentaire. Aux termes de la Loi sur le droit de la famille, L.R.O. 1990, ch. F.3, un droit de pension de retraite doit être considéré comme un bien en capital qui représente un droit à un flux de revenu éventuel. À la retraite, la pension de retraite passe d’un bien en capital à un bien en revenu. Quand la pension de retraite est versée, dans un certain sens, les avoirs de retraite sont liquidés.

OBS

À ne pas confondre avec «droit à pension», l'équivalent de «pension entitlement».
