The owner takes out a mortgage on the property The owner gifts the property to another entity The owner demolishes a structure on the property The owner grants the property to another entity for a specific use and period of time

Answer 1

Answer:

A condition that may cause a fee simple absolute to become a fee simple defeasible is:

The owner gifts the property to another entity

Explanation:

Jane holds a landed property as a fee simple absolute, therefore, she has absolute ownership.  This implies that her ownership of the property lasts forever unless she transfers it.  Jane can do whatever she wants with the property.  It is unlike a defeasible fee, which is simply a fee simple interest in land which Jane can lose by the occurrence of a specified event.
