Highlight
Conditions in a will are disfavored, and no presumptions will be made to create a condition.
A devise will not fail simply because a testator describes a relationship with a devisee that does not exist.
If a will is unambiguous, the testator's intent must be determined from the four corners of the will itself and not from extrinsic evidence.
