Supreme Court of Iowa March 18, 2005, No. 04-0288 (Uchtorff v. Hanson)

STREIT, Justice.

H.L. Mencken once said the capacity of human beings to bore one another seems vastly greater than that of any other animal. The subject-matter of this appeal — a medieval interest known as a remainder— proves Mencken’s point, although we shall do our best to bring matters to resolution as painlessly and interestingly as possible. Much is at stake.

At issue is a trust fund.
