Testator's will creates a trust: "Income to my sister Iris for life. When Iris dies, distribute the principal in equal shares to my friends Maya and Noah who are then living; if either is not then living, that share shall pass to the survivor." At Testator's death, Iris, Maya, and Noah are alive. Maya assigns "all my rights in the trust remainder" to Creditor for value. Maya later dies before Iris, leaving a will that gives all property to Child. Noah survives Iris.
Creditor argues that Maya had a vested transferable remainder when Testator died and that Creditor owns Maya's half. Child argues that, if the assignment failed, Maya's interest should pass through Maya's estate. Noah argues that Maya's gift was expressly contingent on living when Iris died and that Noah takes the full principal.
Classify Maya's and Noah's interests at Testator's death, and determine whether Creditor, Child, or Noah is entitled to Maya's apparent share when Iris dies.
