                                DIVISION 1.   INTRODUCTION

                 CHAPTER 1. DEFINITION OF CERTAIN GENERAL TERMS

§ 9. Estate

Wis.2021. Cit. in sup. Owner of property on which it operated a gas station and convenience store sued
state department of transportation, alleging that the department decreased the value of its property by
changing the grade of a nearby road so that the gas station and convenience store could no longer be
conveniently accessed from a nearby highway, and that it was entitled to compensation for the resulting
diminution in the value of its property under a state statute. After a bench trial, the trial court awarded
owner damages.  The court of appeals reversed. This court affirmed, holding that owner's diminished
property value was not a structural or physical injury to lands, as required for owner to be able to
recover under the statute. The court cited Restatement of Property § 9, which discussed estates in lands,
in reasoning that the term lands constituted something narrower than property. United America,
LLC  v. Wisconsin Department of Transportation, 959 N.W.2d 317, 321.



                              DIVISION   3. FUTURE INTERESTS

                                  PART   4. SPECIAL   TOPICS

                         CHAPTER 25. POWERS OF APPOINTMENT

                                    TOPIC   1. DEFINITIONS

§ 320. Definitions-General  Power, Special Power

Mass.2021.  Cit. in case cit. in sup. Settlor of irrevocable trust, and daughter of settlor upon settlor's
death, appealed the decision of the state Medicaid board, alleging that the board erred in determining
that settlor's home held in trust constituted a countable asset for determining Medicaid eligibility for
long-term care benefits. The trial court granted plaintiff's motion for judgment on the pleadings. This
court affirmed and remanded, holding, inter alia, that settlor's limited power of appointment did not
render the home countable for determining Medicaid eligibility, because settlor's limited power of
appointment under the trust terms did not permit her to appoint portions of the home's equity to nursing
facility as payment for long-term nursing services. Citing Restatement of Property § 320, the court
pointed out that settlor did not expressly name herself or persons acting for her benefit as permissible
appointees. Fournier v. Secretary of Executive Office of Health and Human Services, 170 N.E.3d 1159,
1169.
