Question and options

A transfers property to B in trust for C, directing B to hand possession to C at age 25. Nothing in the transfer makes C's acquisition of the interest conditional on surviving to 25. What interest does C have?

  1. Contingent interest

  2. Vested interest

  3. Both contingent and vested interest

  4. No interest

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - Vested interest

Section 19 distinguishes vesting from enjoyment. An intention against vesting is not inferred merely from postponement of possession or enjoyment. A contrary condition could change the outcome, but is excluded in this formulation.
