I don't think Tee is bound by restriction - particularly if client can avoid
it through probate court. If client can do that, then so can trustee.
B/T/W: 363(h) does NOT apply because this is NOT one of the enumerated types
of interests.

Subject: [cdcbaa] Anti-Alienation Clause in Grant Deed
Potential client received a gift of real property by grant deed from father
in 1988. Property is in Guam; free and clear, and is probably worth about
$200,000. Grant deed contains an anti-alienation clause that prohibits
transfer or sale of property for 60 years from date it was gifted (1988).
Potential client has tried selling property at some point but couldnt,
consulted with an attorney in Guam and was told that due to restrictive
language in the deed, he cannot sell property. Apparently, said
anti-alienation clause provides that if property were to be sold or
transferred, it would revert back to grantor (father). Father has passed
away and Guam attorney suggested that the only way to challenge the
anti-alienation clause would be to open a probate proceeding (which would be
a difficult process). The property generates $1100 in rental income which
potential client is currently receiving.
How is Chapter 7 trustee likely to deal with property and rental income as
property of the estate? If trustee is unable to liquidate, can Trustee hold
case open (for as long as possible) and collect income stream of $1100
monthly as property of the estate?
Comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The income stream can be sold without a sale of the property. If I were
a chapter 7 trustee I would have no problem in fashioning some kind of
transfer of an interest that is less than a complete sale that would
benefit the estate.
