When a statute or court decision deems an object of the offer illegal, the offer can be terminated on the grounds of supervening illegality. This makes it impossible to perform the terms of the offer, thus rendering it void. The expiration of the set period, destruction of the subject matter, or death of the offeror or offeree would not necessarily make the offer void on the grounds of supervening illegality.
