Alternate Beneficiary Can’t Recover
When Property for Center Is Sold
Court holds that bequest was not subject
to condition subsequent that requires payment
Excerpt
When Ellen Isanogel died in 1952, she left 140 acres of land to
a local Society for Crippled Children if it would use the property
as a home or recreation grounds for crippled or physically handicapped
children and adults. If no such group was willing to accept the
conditions within two years of her death, she directed that the
property be sold and most of the proceeds be divided equally between
the local society and to the Father Flanagan’s Boy’s
Town in Nebraska.
