Subject: Default value of property

I have an object, with a method that returns another object, or nil under 
certain circumstances. Is there a better way to arrange things than to have 
to write

if object.property
	object.property.method
else
	default_value
end

every time? I can't just do "object.property.method" because if 
'object.property' returns nil then it fails and tells me that nil doesn't 
have a 'method' method.
