Title 27 - Property and Conveyances
CHAPTER 6 - UNIFORM STATUTORY RULE AGAINST PERPETUITIES
Section 27-6-30. Creation of property interests and powers of appointment.
(A) Except as provided in subsections (B) and (C) and in Section 27-6-60(A), the time of creation of a nonvested property interest or a power of appointment is determined under general principles of property law.
(B) If there is a person who alone can exercise a power created by a governing instrument to become the unqualified beneficial owner of (i) a nonvested property interest or (ii) a property interest subject to a power of appointment described in Section 27-6-20(B) or 27-6-20(C), the nonvested property interest or power of appointment is created when the power to become the unqualified beneficial owner terminates. A joint power with respect to community property or to marital property under a Uniform Marital Property Act held by individuals married to each other is a power exercisable by one person alone.
(C) A nonvested property interest or a power of appointment arising from a transfer of property to a previously funded trust or other existing property arrangement is created when the nonvested property interest or power of appointment in the original contribution was created.
