Where a testator makes a Will which contains no provision for children who may subsequently be born to the testator, it is presumed that the testator did not wish their Will to remain in effect if they had children. Unless this presumption is rebutted, the Will is revoked, often resulting in intestacy.

A condition is a term of the contract that is so significant that it goes to the heart of the transaction—so it is a major term of the agreement.

If a testator revokes the Will and that revocation is shown to be subject to a condition, the revocation is ineffective if the condition is not satisfied. Revocation will not be held to be conditional unless there is clear evidence what the testator intended. Dependent relative revocation occurs when revocation of an original disposition is not to take place unless a new disposition that has been or is intended to be made takes effect. If it fails to take effect, the original disposition is not revoked. An example of dependent relative revocation can be taken from the Re Bridgewater (deceased) case, where a testator who made three Wills wrote to his solicitor to say that the second Will was at his bank and that he had destroyed the third Will, the intended effect being to validate the second Will. At his death only the first Will was found. The letter to the solicitor was held to be admissible evidence of intention to destroy the third Will. As the destruction of the third Will

A conditional bequest is a gift in a will that only takes effect if a specified event occurs or a stated condition is satisfied. Examples include gifts contingent on the beneficiary reaching a certain age, surviving another person, marrying, or complying with particular requirements set by the testator.Across England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland, the concept is broadly similar, though terminology may differ (for example, “legacy” or “provision” instead of “bequest”). The term is descriptive rather than usually defined in statute; its operation is shaped mainly by succession case law and general principles of construction of wills and, in Scotland, by the law of conditional institutions and substitutions.Key issues for practitioners include: whether the condition is precedent (gift only arises if fulfilled) or subsequent (gift can be divested), whether the condition is sufficiently certain, and whether it is legally valid (for example, not contrary to public policy, discriminatory or impossible). Failure of a conditional bequest may result in partial intestacy or gift over to another beneficiary, depending on the drafting. Properly structured conditional bequests are a common estate planning tool to control timing, protect vulnerable beneficiaries and manage family succession expectations.
