Ark. Code Ann. § 28-9-219: Distinction between ancestral estates and new acquisitions abolished

(a) Only for the purposes of intestate succession, the distinction between "ancestral estate" and "new acquisitions" in respect to real estate owned by an intestate is abolished.

(b) The devolution of real estate and personal property which the intestate acquired by gift, devise, or descent from some ancestor shall be controlled by the same rules which apply to the devolution of real estate and personal property acquired by the intestate in any other manner.
