If a condition precedent in a conditional will is not satisfied, the will is not enforceable.

Explanation:
A condition precedent is a gate that must be opened before the will’s provisions take effect. If that event never happens, the will cannot operate to transfer property, so there’s no enforceable testamentary disposition under that instrument. In that sense, the statement is true: failure of the condition prevents the will from taking effect. The idea that an immaterial condition could rescue enforcement or that heirs’ consent is required does not fit how these conditions function.
