(a) Where two (2) or more beneficiaries are designated to take successively by reason of survivorship under another person’s distribution of property and there is no sufficient evidence that these beneficiaries have died otherwise than simultaneously, the property thus disposed of shall be divided into as many equal portions as there are successive beneficiaries and these portions shall be distributed respectively to those who would have taken in the event that each designated beneficiary had survived.

If there are more than two (2) joint tenants and all of them have so died, the property thus distributed shall be in the proportion that one bears to the whole number of joint tenants.

(e) This section shall be so construed and interpreted as to effectuate its general purpose to make uniform the law in those states which enact it.
