Real Property Law: State Police Power Held Insufficient to Regulate Registration of Existing Possibilities of Reverter and Powers of Termination as Condition for Preservation

Authors

Abstract

The New York Court of Appeals recently held that the New York Real Property Law, requiring registration of possibilities of reverter and powers of termination as a condition for their preservation, was invalid in its attempted retrospective application. This decision may have persuasive impact beyond New York, as most marketable title acts contain a similar provision.
