Where this section sits in the code
  1. TITLE XL REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY
  2. CHAPTER 689 CONVEYANCES OF LAND AND DECLARATIONS OF TRUST

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.
