§ 15-11-711 — Interests in heirs and like

If an applicable statute or a
governing instrument calls for a present or future distribution to, or creates a
present or future interest in, a designated individual's heirs, heirs at law, next
of kin, relatives, or family, or language of similar import, the property passes to
those persons in such shares as would succeed to the designated individual's
intestate estate under the intestate succession law of the designated individual's
domicile if the designated individual died when the donative disposition is to take
effect in possession or enjoyment. If the designated individual's surviving spouse is
living but is remarried at the time the interest is to take effect in possession or
enjoyment, the surviving spouse is not an heir of the designated individual.
