Alternative remainders occur when the grant or devise is limited in the alternative after a particular estate to take effect upon a contingency, other than the termination of the particular estate, happening which gives one of the contingent remainders priority over the other....(Cartwright, p. 66) 1, record 3, English, - alternative%20remainder
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Alternative remainders have been called in the books, "remainders on a contingency with a double aspect". Early vesting of estates is the policy of the law. Consequently, when there are alternative remainders in a grant or a devise, the first limitation after the particular estate, will be construed as a vested remainder subject to complete divestment by way of a shifting executory limitation if the contingency expressed in the instrument is intended to have the effect of defeating the first limitation.
