Vanessa Denai purchased forty acres of land in rural
Louisiana with a 1,600-square-foot house on it and a metal
barn near the house. Seven months later, Denai met Lance
Finney, who had been seeking a small plot of rural property
to rent. After several meetings, Denai invited Finney to
live on a corner of her property in exchange for Finney’s
assistance in cutting wood and tending her property. Denai
agreed to store Finney’s sailboat in her barn. With Denai’s
consent, Finney constructed a concrete and oak foundation on
Denai’s property. Finney then purchased a 190-square-foot
dome from Dome Baja for $3,395. The dome was shipped by Doty
Express, a transportation company licensed to serve the
public. When he received it, Finney installed the dome frame
and fabric exterior so that the dome was detachable from the
foundation. A year after Finney installed the dome, Denai
wrote Finney a note stating, “I’ve decided to give you four
acres of land surrounding your dome as drawn on this map.”
This gift violated no local land-use restrictions. Using the
information presented in the chapter, answer the following
questions.
1. Is the dome real property or personal property? Explain.
2. Is Denai’s gift of land to Finney a testamentary gift, a
gift causa mortis, or a gift inter vivos?
3. What type of bailment relationship was created when Denai
agreed to store Finney’s boat? What degree of care was Denai
required to exercise in storing the boat?
4. What standard of care applied to the shipment of the dome
by Doty Express?
