Goes back automatically
A reverter is a legal term for the right of property to return to its original owner or their heirs when certain conditions are met or a specified use ends.
If land was granted for use as a school and the school closes, the reverter allows it to pass back to the grantor's estate.
Also used for a person or thing that reverts to a former state.
