conditional bequest

A bequest whose effectiveness or continuation depends on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a particular event.

• An example might be a testator’s gift of “the income from the farm to my daughter, Betty, until she remarries.” If a condition prohibits certain legal conduct, such as using tobacco or growing a beard, it is sometimes termed a reformation condition or character-improvement condition. [Cases: Wills 639–668. C.J.S. Wills §§ 1380–1424.]
