Final answer:
A vested remainderman is guaranteed to receive an estate in the future once the preceding estate ends, without satisfying any other conditions.
Step-by-step explanation:
A vested remainderman is one who is not named but is identified with descriptors such as "any offspring of ..."; a contingent remainderman, in contrast, would be someone who is not yet certain to inherit because of a condition that must be met first.
In property law, a vested remainder is a future interest given to a person (remainderman) that is guaranteed to become possessory upon the expiration of the prior estate without any conditions to be satisfied other than the passage of time. A remainder is 'vested' if there are no conditions that must be met for the transfer to take place besides the end of the preceding estate.
