         PROPERTY 2D: DONATIVE TRANSFERS





   DIVISION   I. SOCIAL  RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED UPON THE CREATION OF PROPERTY
                           INTERESTS BY DONATIVE TRANSFERS

        PART  II. DIRECT  RESTRAINTS ON ALIENATION IN DONATIVE TRANSFERS

                                  CHAPTER 3.   DEFINITIONS

  § 3.3 Promissory Restraint

  C.A.5, 2016. Cit. in sup. Original owner of a painting brought, inter alia, an action against art gallery
  that orchestrated a sale of the painting on plaintiff's behalf to a buyer who resold it at a public auction,
  alleging that defendant breached the purchase agreement's confidentiality clause by assisting the buyer
  in selling the painting. The district court entered judgment on a jury verdict for plaintiff and denied
  defendant's motion for judgment as a matter of law. This court reversed in part, holding that plaintiff
  failed to show that there was a genuine issue of material fact that defendant breached the agreement.
  Citing Restatement Second of Property: Donative Transfers § 3.3, the court explained that plaintiff's
  reading of the clause as requiring secrecy regarding plaintiff's sale to buyer permanently prevented the
  public sale of the painting and significantly constrained how the buyer could conduct a future sale,
  thereby constituting an unreasonable and indirect promissory restraint on alienation. Hoffman v. L & M
  Arts, 838 F.3d 568, 583.



    DIVISION   II. POWERS   OF APPOINTMENT, CLASS GIFTS, AND RELATED MATTERS

                            PART  V. POWERS OF APPOINTMENT

                                 CHAPTER 11. DEFINITIONS

  § 11.4 General Power and Non-general Power

  Neb.2017. Subsec. (1) quot. in sup. and cit. in ftn. Siblings, as beneficiaries of an irrevocable family
  trust settled by their mother before she suffered a massive stroke, initiated a proceeding to remove their
  brother as successor trustee of the trust. After a bench trial, the trial court found in favor of siblings.
  Affirming, this court held that brother breached his fiduciary duties to siblings. The court rejected
  brother's argument that siblings lacked standing because mother, as trustee, possessed a power of
  withdrawal that could have divested siblings of any interest in the trust, reasoning that, under
  Restatement Second of Property: Donative Transfers § 11.4, a power of withdrawal was defined as a
  presently exercisable general power of appointment, and mother's power of appointment under the trust
  was limited, rather than general, in that it was exercisable solely in favor of certain of her descendants.
  In re Conservatorship of Abbott, 890 N.W.2d 469, 481.
