1941 AND 1953 DEEDS CREATED THE POSSIBILITY OF REVERTER WHICH COULD BE ASSIGNED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the deeds in question included the possibility of reverter and that right was assignable:

… [T]he 1941 deed and the 1953 deed created possibilities of reverter. ” [E]very instrument creating [or] transferring . . . an estate or interest in real property must be construed according to the intent of the parties, so far as such intent can be gathered from the whole instrument, and is consistent with the rules of law'” … . No precise language is necessary to create a possibility of reverter, but “[a] characteristic of the type of expression which works automatic expiration of the grantee’s fee seems to be one in which time is an important factor,” such as use of the words “until,” “so long as,” or “during” … . Here, the 1941 deed and the 1953 deed unequivocally called for automatic forfeiture of the estate upon breach and thereby created for their respective grantors possibilities of reverter.

… Although no statute in effect in 1964 explicitly provided the grantor of the 1953 deed with a right to convey her possibility of reverter … , under the applicable rules of the common law, “a possibility of reverter could be freely assigned and alienated” … . Njcb Spec-1, LLC v Budnik, 2018 NY Slip Op 03376, Second Dept 5-9-18
