Practice question
A wedding never occurs. One gift was made in the prospective spouses' marriage settlement; another qualifies as a separate marriage-motivated donation. A party treats 86(1) as eliminating the express 81 distinction. Which is best?
- Every settlement donation necessarily survives a canceled wedding.
- Article 86(1) expressly leaves settlement donations to 81; the two legal routes must be distinguished.
- Article 81 is expressly irrelevant to 86(1).
- The donor may select any rule without regard to the instrument.
- All ordinary birthday gifts become wedding donations.
