California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 2 — Property, Part 2 — Real or Immovable Property, Title 5 — Marketable Record Title, Chapter 5 — Powers of Termination, Section 885.020
Fees simple determinable and possibilities of reverter are abolished. Every estate that would be at common law a fee simple determinable is deemed to be a fee simple subject to a restriction in the form of a condition subsequent. Every interest that would be at common law a possibility of reverter is deemed to be and is enforceable as a power of termination.
Notes
Establishes that common-law fees simple determinable and possibilities of reverter are abolished and converted into the statutory forms described by the provision. A former fee simple determinable is treated as a fee simple subject to a condition-subsequent restriction, and a former possibility of reverter is treated and enforceable as a power of termination.
