Property Ownership
In Colorado, a 'fee simple determinable' is an estate that:
AA. Lasts forever with no conditions
BB. Automatically reverts to the grantor if a specified condition occurs (e.g., 'as long as used as a school')✓ Correct
CC. Terminates at the grantee's death
DD. Requires annual renewal
Explanation
A fee simple determinable is a fee simple estate that automatically ends and reverts to the grantor (possibility of reverter) if a specified limiting condition occurs. Key language includes 'so long as,' 'while,' or 'during.' For example: 'to City, so long as used as a park' — if the city stops using it as a park, title reverts automatically.
