Third party beneficiaries may enforce a contract if the parties intended to benefit them and if enforcing the promise will satisfy a duty of the promisee to the beneficiary. This means that the intended beneficiary has enforceable rights in a contract. However, if the promisee intended to make a gift to the beneficiary, the beneficiary may not enforce the contract. Additionally, incidental beneficiaries do not have enforceable rights in a contract.
