Description:

What is Reversionary Interest? Reversionary interest refers to the interest in a property or a trust that returns back to the owner or trust upon a concluding event. In the case of real estate, it may be a leased property, where the landlord hold the reversionary interest, which would return back upon the maturity date. With a trust, assets bequeathed to a beneficiary may revert back to the trust upon the beneficiary’s death.
