shifting use

A use arising from the occurrence of a certain event that terminates the preceding use.

• In the following example, C has a shifting use that arises when D makes the specified payment: “to A for the use of B, but then to C when D pays $1,000 to E.” This is a type of conditional limitation.

— Also termed secondary use. See conditional limitation under LIMITATION. [Cases: Trusts 131; Wills 625. C.J.S. Trover and Conversion § 241; Wills§§ 1314–1317, 1319.]
