CONT

At common law the creation of future interests was severely restricted.... (T)he only future interests possible at common law were the reversion, the vested remainder and the possibility of reverter and the right of entry for condition broken.... (Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, pp. 338-9)

CONT

(The Statute of Wills) permitted a person to devise his lands "at his free will and pleasure". The effect of this language was that devises did not have to comply with the common law remainder rules so that new legal future interests ... could be created....
