An estate is bequeathed to A, with a proviso that if she becomes a nun, she shall cease to have any interest in the estate. A becomes a nun. What is the result?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Illustration (iv) to section 134 holds that A "loses her interest under the will". Becoming a nun is a specified uncertain event, and section 134 allows a bequest to be made to cease on such an event. The Act does not treat this condition as unlawful under section 127.
