A couple of points, Since 2 comes after 1 is it reasonable to hold that you<br>
cannot interpret 2 in a way that denies 1?<br>
<br>
Does 2 allow for the assignment of these material interests to another? Does<br>
it allow for the taking away of these material interests in a lawsuit<br>
situation for debt or?<br>
<br>
<br>
all the best,<br>
