reformation condition

Read a random definition: account duty

A quick definition of reformation condition:

A bequest is a gift of property made in a will. There are different types of bequests, such as a specific bequest of a particular item, a general bequest of a benefit, or a residuary bequest of the remaining estate after other gifts have been made. A conditional bequest is one that depends on a certain event happening, such as a daughter receiving income from a farm until she remarries. A charitable bequest is a gift to a philanthropic organization. A pecuniary bequest is a gift of money.

A more thorough explanation:

A reformation condition is a type of conditional bequest in which the effectiveness or continuation of the bequest depends on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a particular event. 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.

For example, a testator may leave a bequest of “the income from the farm to my daughter, Betty, until she remarries.” In this case, the bequest is conditional on Betty's marital status. If she remarries, the bequest would no longer be effective.

Another example of a reformation condition could be a bequest that is conditional on the beneficiary completing a certain educational degree or achieving a certain level of success in their career.

Overall, a reformation condition is a way for a testator to ensure that their assets are used in a way that aligns with their values and beliefs.

Tell us what's important to you

Yeah, I would have definitely gone to the hotel if I knew they booked a room for me. At the very least, it would be proper to show up personally and explain your extraneous circumstances

Nah but it's in your name. I went to an ASD. I asked the school for an extra night and they gave it to me. You just need to plan things better.

You live and you learn
16:45
because i did let one of the staff know i'd be leaving early and thought that would be enough
16:46
but i was confused why i got an e-mail with a room cuz I didn't ask for it at all
Law-Shark
16:46
Well, you know now what to do.
16:47
well on their end they prob shouldn't just be buying hotel rooms for ppl who don't request it and then getting mad I didn't go
16:48
goof
16:48
Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
