Alandowner's will left his ranch to a rancher, his heirs, and assigns, so long as the property was used exclusively for ranch purposes, then to the landowner's grandson. the remainder of the landowner's property passed through the residuary clause of his will to the grandson. seven years after the landowner's death, the rancher began strip mining operations on the ranch. the grandson brought an action to quiet title to the ranch against the rancher, and the rancher counterclaimed on the same theory. who should prevail?

The Grandson will prevail. At the point when landowner passed away, his probability of reverter went to Grandson by the residuary clause. At the point when rancher utilized the property for non ranching purposes, the land consequently returned to Grandson.

Residuary clause alludes to a proviso in a will that discards any estate property that remaining parts after fulfillment of every other gift. It is a rule of testamentary development that a residuary clause will be made to respect a particular, conflicting arrangement despite what might be expected, particularly if latter is subsequent.
