There is a newer version of the Alaska Statutes

Title 13. DECEDENTS' ESTATES, GUARDIANSHIPS, TRANSFERS, TRUSTS, AND HEALTH CARE DECISIONS
Chapter 13.12. INTESTACY, WILLS, AND DONATIVE TRANSFERS
Sec. 13.12.710. Worthier-title doctrine abolished.
AK Stat § 13.12.710 (through 27th Leg Sess 2012) What's This?
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.
