Condition precedent
An event of state of affairs that is required before something else will occur.
"When I die I will go to heaven." My death is a condition precedent to my going to heaven (although it is also possible in this example for me to go to heaven on the occurrence of other conditions precedent: it is not stated that I will only go to heaven if I die).
See also condition subsequent.
