§ 21203 Trust Terms For Donated Property

Key Takeaways

  • •If a court decides how donated property should be used for an institution, that decision usually sticks.
  • •The person giving the property can still change the rules if they want.
  • •This only applies to property given after the court's decision.

Example

A rich person donates money to a school to build a new library.

If a court already said how donated money should be used at that school, the new donation must follow those rules unless the rich person says otherwise.
