Worthier-title doctrine abolished

The doctrine of worthier title is abolished as a rule of law and as a rule of construction. Language in a governing instrument describing the beneficiaries of a disposition as the transferor's "heirs", "heirs at law", "next of kin", "distributees", "relatives" or "family" or language of similar import does not create or presumptively create a reversionary interest in the transferor. History: 1978 Comp., § 45-2-710, enacted by Laws 1993, ch. 174, § 58.
