Conditional Property Transfer Obligation and Heir Succession

The case concerned a dispute arising from an agreement where one party promised to transfer property to another upon the fulfillment of a condition, but the promisor subsequently died before the condition was met, leading the heir to refuse the transfer. The Court of Cassation upheld the lower court's decision, reasoning that the obligation to transfer the property was conditional and, as the condition precedent had not occurred prior to the promisor's death, the obligation was not transmissible to the heir, as the contract did not create an absolute and immediate right in the transferee.
