Property Ownership

In Wyoming, a 'fee simple defeasible' estate differs from fee simple absolute because:

AFee simple defeasible cannot be inherited
BFee simple defeasible is subject to a condition and may revert to the grantor if the condition is violated✓ Correct
CFee simple defeasible provides less ownership rights to the grantee
DFee simple defeasible is always a temporary ownership

Explanation

A fee simple defeasible (including fee simple determinable and fee simple subject to condition subsequent) contains a condition. If the specified condition is violated, ownership may revert to the grantor or their heirs. Fee simple absolute has no such conditions.
