Fla. Stat. § 689.175: Worthier title doctrine abolished.
Where this section sits in the code
- TITLE XL REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY
- 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.
