Ally's grandmother, laura, promised in her will to make sally an heir to her home if she would move into laura's home and care for her. sally agreed to this and moved into laura's home. but when laura died, her will named bob, a family friend, as heir to her home. is sally legally entitled to the home?

Yes, helping her grandmother provided consideration.

Explanation:

Consideration is anything of legal value that one party offers in exchange of another thing. For example Laura offers Sally a right to be an heir to her house if she comes and take care of her which Sally did. This is an obligation that Larry commited to and the consideration is valid since Sally did offer her service to her grandmother as an exchange to her recieving ownership of her home. Each party is required to commit to their consideration as part of an agreement of which Sally did her part and now Laura's obligation need to be fulfilled as per agreement. 

There are two types of considerations:

Valuable consideration is promise of exchange that involves money.

Good consideration these are other valuables apart from money.

Both these type of consideration are legally enough to enforce someone to abide by a contract. The law doesn't weigh the quality of what each party exchanged even if they may not be of equal value but its considers the fact both parties might have thought it all through and felt it was fair agreement.

clearcutting reproduces a new even-aged stand by completely removing the mature stand.

clearcutting as a silvicultural treatment has several characteristics:

it causes a sudden environmental change

it removes the seed source from the regeneration area

the configuration of the clearcut may affect seed dispersal

it begins a new rotation

it will eliminate some pests that require forest cover

overall, it temporarily removes the forest cover, transforming the forest community and environment.

clearcutting followed by artificial (seeded or planted) regeneration has several advantages:

we can avoid delay in restocking the site

we can introduce a selected species, seed source, and genotype

we can control arrangement and spacing

we can achieve uniformity in the new stand

we can overcome the problems associated with securing sufficient natural regeneration.

the shelterwood method involves the removal of most of the mature stand at the end of the rotation, but a portion of the mature stand is left standing.   the shelterwood method serves three basic purposes:

to prepare the stand for production of abundant seed

to modify the environment in a way that promotes germination and survival of the selected species

to build up the amount and size of advance regeneration to ensure the prompt restocking of the new stand following overstory removal.

the shelterwood method involves a sequence of 3 cuttings:

preparatory cuttings: make the seed trees more vigorous and set the stage for regeneration. see our thinning page for more information.

establishment/seed cuttings: open up enough vacant growing space to allow establishment of the new regeneration.

removal cuttings: uncover the new crop to allow it to fill the growing space.

the residual trees in the shelterwood must:

be sturdy and windfirm

be able to survive exposure

flower and reproduce seed

be the best trees of the mature stand

keep in mind that the shelter trees must not occupy the entire site.   a void must be created in order to make room for the new regeneration. the amount of shelter to leave will depend on the following factors:

species characteristics (seeding and shelter requirements)

the number of cuttings in the cutting sequence (1, 2, or 3)

landowner objectives

the size of the area to be regenerated

the final removal harvest level required to be profitable

the shelter must be removed before it impedes the growth of the new stand or threatens its survival.
