SD Codified L § 29A-2-710 (through 2011) What's This?

29A-2-710. Worthier-title doctrine abolished. The doctrine of worthier title does not exist in this state either as a rule of law or 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.
