wills...?

[joko]

could you write a will that leaves something to someone, but only under the condition that when that person then dies, the item then goes to someone of your choosing?

or is it a case of once ownership is given, the deceased rights are gone...?

thanks

You can't impose conditions upon who actually receives the 'title' to the property. (i.e. upon who owns it).

However it's possible to grant a 'life interest' to someone in order, for example, for them to live in a property (which was owned by the testator) until they die. The beneficiary under such an arrangement would be a 'life tenant', rather than its owner.
