內容概要
本書的內容分為三個部分。第一部分是關于美國財產(chǎn)法所承認的不動產(chǎn)權益。美國的財產(chǎn)法認為,不動產(chǎn)權所有人所擁有的并不是土地本身,而是對于土地的產(chǎn)權(estate)。這些土地產(chǎn)權主要包括非限定繼承不動產(chǎn)(fee simple)、限嗣繼承不動產(chǎn)(fee tail)、終身產(chǎn)權(life estate)、未來權益(future interests)、定期租賃(tenancy for years)、定期續(xù)租(periodic tenancy)、不定期租賃(tenancy at will)等等;還包括不動產(chǎn)的幾種共同所有形式以及地役權(easements)、隨土地轉移的約定(covenants running with land)和基于衡平法的地役權(equitable servitudes)。 第二部分是關于不動產(chǎn)的轉讓。由于土地的特殊性以及土地產(chǎn)權的復雜性,它的轉讓也是由和動產(chǎn)的轉讓不同的規(guī)則來約束的。這里主要涉及土地權益買賣雙方的權益問題、土地權益的登記制度以及不動產(chǎn)抵押貸款。 第三部分是關于財產(chǎn)法的一些其他題目,主要是兩大塊。第一塊是涉及一些傳統(tǒng)的普通法原則,如土地產(chǎn)權所有人對空間、水源的權利和相鄰土地的支撐權,關于不動產(chǎn)上的固定附著物(fixture)的問題,妨害(nuisance)問題等等。另一塊是政府對于土地使用管理。 如前所述,本書的作者為我們勾畫了一幅關于美國財產(chǎn)法的清晰圖畫。但是,對于我們而言,更重要的事情不是僅僅理解這些規(guī)則,而是理解這些規(guī)則背后的道理。具體的規(guī)則常常是不能移植的,但是規(guī)則背后的道理卻可以有啟發(fā)和借鑒的作用。

章節(jié)摘錄
B. FREEHOLD v. NONFREEHOLD ESTATES--SEISIN The fee simple, fee tail, and life estate are called freehold estates; the tenancy for years and the periodic tenancy are nonfreehold estates. The time for termination of freehold estates cannot be precisely determined in advance because death (with or without heirs) is always the terminating event. In contrast, nonfreehold estates terminate on or before an ascertainable date. The need for distinguishing between freehold and nonfreehold estates derived from the common law concept of seisin. The holder of a freehold estate had seisin (i.e. was seised of the land), whereas the holder of a nonfreehold estate had possession but not seisin. In England, all land titles came from the monarch, either directly to the possessor or by way of intermediate lords. The holder of a freehold estate owed certain services to the overlord, somewhat equivalent to mod- ern rent or property taxes. C. CREATION OF ESTATES (CREATING WORDS) 1. Fee Simple---“To Bob and his Heirs” At common law, the only language that could create a fee simple was a grant to the transferee “and his heirs.” “And his heirs” was the grantors way of indicating that the estate was inheritable by the grantees heirs. However, this language does not directly give anything to the heirs. They do not share the estate with the transferee and have no interest of their own from this conveyance. The words “and his heirs” are “words of limitation,” which designate the estate as being inheritable, rather than "words of purchase," which designate the taker. Today, the requirement of such special words of limitation to create fee simple has been abolished in virtually every jurisdiction and has been replaced by a statutory presumption in favor of the fee simple estate.
