California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 2 — Property, Part 1 — Property in General, Title 2 — Ownership, Chapter 4 — Termination of Ownership, Section 742
No future interest, valid in its creation, is defeated by the determination of the precedent interest before the happening of the contingency on which the future interest is limited to take effect; but should such contingency afterwards happen, the future interest takes effect in the same manner and to the same extent as if the precedent interest had continued to the same period.
Notes
Keeps a future interest that was valid when created from being defeated when the preceding interest ends before the contingency it depends on occurs. Lets the future interest take effect if that contingency later happens, in the same manner and to the same extent as if the preceding interest had lasted to that point.
