Where this section sits in the code
  1. Chapter 45 - Uniform Probate Code
  2. ARTICLE 2 Intestate Succession and Wills

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.
