Section 44-6-41. Conditions precedent and subsequent distinguished; preferred construction and remedy

Latest version.

Conditions may be either precedent or subsequent; conditions precedent require performance before the estate shall vest, and conditions subsequent may cause a forfeiture of a vested estate. The law favors conditions to be subsequent rather than precedent and to be remediable by damages rather than by forfeiture.
