But surely there is a way to provide in a will for this kind of gift. Thanks.

I can’t answer your question but if you made this type of condition in your will would you tell the person that the condition existed as a means to try to influence their decision? Or is this a screw you from beyond the grave where you get one final judgement on the persons life choices?
