Property Ownership
In NH, a 'fee simple subject to a condition subsequent' differs from a 'fee simple absolute' in that:
AThe ownership automatically terminates when the condition is violated
BThe grantor retains a right of re-entry if the specified condition is violated, but must exercise that right to reclaim the property✓ Correct
CThe condition must be government-approved
DIt is only available for commercial properties
Explanation
In a fee simple subject to a condition subsequent, ownership continues after a condition violation unless the grantor exercises their reserved right of re-entry to reclaim the property. Unlike a fee simple determinable (which terminates automatically), the grantor must take affirmative action to regain title.
