You can google case history if you like. If the deed is written correctly it can be enforced. Has to have precise wording, and in the case of heirs, it has to be a “closed set” of people, as opposed to open. E.g., you can’t say “all future decendants” but you can say “grandchildren alive at the time of my death”, or what not.

Also can vary by state. Perpetuities have always been unenforceable, however, if I recollect correctly, Florida has a 360 year limit.

Roxanne Quimby’s son, Lucas Sinclair, has repeatedly said that hunting and fishing will be allowed on the 87,563 acres of land his mother donated. I personally doubt it very much.

Roxanne Quimby moved her business, Burt’s Bees, to Durham, North Carolina and then sold it for $200 million to, I think, Colgate-Palmolive.

I live in Maine, and 87,563 acres is NOT 30% of the state; not by a long shot. The people who live near the land did NOT want the National Monument, nor do they want a National Park.
