Property Ownership
A Mississippi property owner conveys land to a church 'for use as a place of worship; if ever not used as such, to revert to the grantor.' This creates a:
AFee simple absolute
BFee simple subject to a condition subsequent with a right of re-entry in the grantor
CFee simple determinable with a possibility of reverter✓ Correct
DLife estate with a remainder
Explanation
This language ('for use as... if ever not used...') creates a fee simple determinable — ownership that automatically terminates and reverts if the stated condition fails. The 'so long as' or 'if ever not used as' language is the hallmark of a determinable fee, with the grantor retaining a possibility of reverter.
