The NewAll Appropriate Inquiries Rule
Larry Schnapf                                  7
The new All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI) rule imposes new
due diligence standards before landowner defenses are
available. Although some of the standards are familiar, many
differ from previous practice. In this article, Larry Schnapf
discusses how the new AAI rule differs from the familiar ASTM
El 527 standard and its essential terms and concepts, and
explains how the careful landowner can position itself to take
advantage of the most helpful defenses.

Leslie A. Fields and Karen L. Brody           25

outcome. In this article, Leslie A. Fields and Karen L. Brody
discuss the general concepts in determining ownership in this
context and overview the somewhat inconsistent state of the
law on the issue.
How To Depose An Opposing Appraiser
(With Deposition Questions)
Warren C. Herlong, Jr. and J. Casey Pipes     33

always an instinct to want to take his or her deposition.
But this may not always be the best thing to do. In this
article, Warren C. Herlong, Jr. and J. Casey Pipes discuss
how to evaluate whether to take the opposing expert's
deposition, determining the purpose of the deposition, areas
of examination and valuation approaches, and offer model
questions that can be used in each area.

Risk-Shifting Agreements In Construction
Contracts: Why Insurance May Not Work
The Way It Used To
David S. White                                43
In a fairly common arrangement, a subcontractor would agree
to add an owner as an additional insured, thus protecting the
owner in the event that one of the subcontractor's workers
was hurt on the worksite. Owing to a change in standard
insurance language, this may no longer work. In this article,
David S. White explains what language to look for, some
ways to alleviate the problem, and the right language to put
into indemnification/hold harmless agreements.
Uses Of Land Trusts In Preserving Tenancy In
Common Property
(Part 1)
Julius J. Zschau                              53
Tenancies in comon have several advantages, but they also
have one big disadvantage: a co-tenant can sue for partition
and in doing so, cause a forced sale of the property. The
use of a land trust can help to solve this problem as well as
offer several other attractive features. In this article, Julius J.
Zschau explains the basics of land trusts and how to create
and use them.
