Section 35-1-2Inter vivos gift of assets void if donor left without means of support.

(a) All inter vivos gifts of assets, including but not limited to money, lands, or buildings, are void if the donor is left without means of support and does not reserve for himself for life an adequate amount separate from that gift to provide for his subsistence; provided, that this section shall not apply to any gift not expressly and specifically declared void hereunder by an administrative or judicial tribunal of competent jurisdiction within the two-year period immediately following the date of the gift.

(b) As used in this section, unless the context clearly requires a different meaning, "subsistence" means that amount of money or its equivalent necessary to provide one with the minimum necessities of life, such as food, clothing, shelter, and medical care.
