Property Ownership

In NJ, a 'right of entry' (condition subsequent) in a deed differs from a fee simple determinable in that:

ABoth are identical in effect
BIn a right of entry, the grantor must take affirmative legal action to reclaim the property after the condition is violated; it does not automatically revert✓ Correct
CA right of entry lasts forever with no conditions
DA fee simple determinable never expires

Explanation

A fee simple subject to a condition subsequent requires the grantor to exercise their right of re-entry by taking affirmative legal action (filing a lawsuit) if the condition is violated. In a fee simple determinable, the property automatically reverts upon violation.
