Charles D. Wilson
Purchase of 1217 5th Street
September 10, 2001
Peter Beck
Douglas J. Dehn (Counsel for Seller)
The proposed purchase of 1217 5th Street would allow the Seller (a trust)
to retain a life estate in the property.
A life estate means that the Seller retains ownership of the property for the
remainder of Ms. Bailey's life. Ms. Bailey is the resident of 1217 5th Street and
the beneficiary of the trust. The City would own a remainder interest.
Under the proposed transaction, the City could become the owner in two
ways. If Gloria Bailey were to die the title would pass automatically to the City.
Title would be perfected by filing a death certificate with the Sherburne County
Recorder. In addition, the deed contains a stipulation that Ms. Bailey must use
the property as a residence. If she does not the Seller must offer the life estate to
the City for $1.00. This provision would allow Ms. Bailey to end the life estate
early if she chose to move out of the residence. The City would receive a Quit
Claim Deed.
The life estate was chosen because the Seller would remain the owner of
the property. The Seller would continue to pay all taxes and be responsible to
insure, maintain and repair the property. The City would have no obligation until
title passed to the City under one of the two mechanisms described above.
