This may be more than a freebie legal question Trout but wondering what the best way is to structure a conditional gift such that it only applies upon the happening or non-happening of an event. Eg the gift applies only so long as the beneficiary is not married to or does not live with a certain person. I seem to recall back in law school something about those kinds of gifts failing because the testator cannot “speak from beyond the grave”. But surely there is a way to provide in a will for this kind of gift. Thanks.
