Vesting Period

Rule Against Perpetuities
The Rule Against Perpetuities is a legal doctrine that ensures no contingent interest in property is valid unless it vests not later than 21 years after the death of a specified person living when the interest was created. This rule prevents property from being indefinitely tied up within a family and limits control over future ownership.
