If this condition is not fulfilled, the transfer can be undone, the transfer can be declared void, or it can be altered, as specified.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such transfers may either be by way of condition precedent (the condition must happen first) or condition subsequent (the condition may undo the transfer).
