Mary Laymon as the Personal Representative of the Estate of Howard Arnold Laymon v. Minnesota Premier Properties, LLC

Summary

The court held that real property devolves immediately upon the testator's death to residuary devisees under section 524.3-101, just as it does to specific devisees. Because Howard Laymon's house was included in the residue devised equally to his children, John acquired a transferable ownership interest that he could convey by quitclaim deed. The court therefore affirmed the court of appeals, including its remand for further proceedings concerning redemption and related ownership issues.
