An interest created on a transfer of property and dependent upon

forbidden by law, or is of such a nature that, if permitted, it would defeat
the provisions of any law, or is fraudulent, or involves or implies injury to
the person or property of another, or the court regards it as immoral or
opposed to public policy.
