Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

Given that CC 1590 contemplates a monetary recovery, my guess is that the ring is property of the debtor'sestate and that the donor has a claim against the estate.Peter M. Lively, J.D., M.B.A.

Hello.
What is your opinion on whether a conditional gift is property of the Estate if the condition subsequent is not satisfied?
The actual facts are an engagement gift was given from man to woman on the condition that she would marry man. Woman files for bankruptcy and tells man she will not marry him.
Civ Code 1590 says, "Where either party to a contemplated marriage in this State makes a gift of money or property to the other on the basis or assumption that the marriage will take place, in the event that the donee refuses to enter into the marriage as contemplated or that it is given up by mutual consent, the donor may recover such gift or such part of its value as may, under all of the circumstances of the case, be found by a court or jury to be just."
Alternatively and assuming the same facts as above. Could this be characterized as an executory contract? Both parties must still perform or marriage is void. If so, then what about application of Section 365(c) which, my understanding is, makes contracts for personal services unassumable.
