What happens with a qualified fee determinable if a condition is violated?

  1. Property is sold

  2. Reversion of property to grantor is automatic

  3. Property is leased out

  4. Property changes to a fee simple

The correct answer is: Reversion of property to grantor is automatic

A qualified fee determinable is a type of real estate that has specific conditions attached to it. These conditions are the requirements that must be met in order for the property to remain in the hands of the owner. In this case, if the condition attached to the property is violated, the ownership of the property automatically reverts back to the grantor. This means that option B, the reversion of the property to the grantor, is the correct answer. Options A and D are incorrect because they do not fully address the question. Selling the property or changing it to a fee simple designation are not guaranteed outcomes when a condition is violated. Option C is also incorrect because it does not relate to ownership. Leasing out the property may be a consequence of the violation, but it does not involve the transfer of ownership.
