§ 44-6-41 - Conditions precedent and subsequent distinguished; preferred construction and remedy
O.C.G.A. 44-6-41 (2010)
44-6-41. Conditions precedent and subsequent distinguished; preferred construction and remedy
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.
