Marriage is a common condition, as are clauses regarding education. Most people don't do these things anymore, so no cases come immediately to mind, except for Leona Helmsley (http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/property/2007/10/leona-helmsley-.html). (Her will requires her grandsons to visit their father's grave once per year in order to inherit, and there were also some odd clauses regarding the care of her dog.) There are also common examples in this incentive trust (http://www.deathandtaxesblog.com/2006/01/incentive_trusts.html) article. (Education, family, and job achievements; overcoming a substance abuse habit.)
