A: Probably unenforceable due to the Rule Against Perpetuities but it’s very rare for that to come up outside of the estates and trusts arena. Would need to look deeper to know for sure.

A: No responsible lawyer would give legal advice in this manor. A lawyer needs to read the entire document and learn what the background story is that gave rise to the document in the first place. Take the deed to a lawyer along with any other relevant documents and get proper legal advice.
