Practice question
A mixed condition already existed when the will was executed. The testator knew this, and it is capable of occurring or being fulfilled again. The heir claims the prior event alone necessarily suffices under Article 877. Which is correct?
- The known prior event satisfies the specified rule only if its nature prevents recurrence or repeated compliance; the stated claim ignores that qualification
- Every known repeatable event is automatically conclusive
- Knowledge is always irrelevant under Article 877
- Only the executor’s preference matters
- All mixed conditions are void
