75-2-709. Definitions -- Representation -- Per capita at each generation -- Per stirpes.    (1) As used in this section:   (a) "Deceased child" or "deceased descendant" means a child or a descendant who either predeceased the distribution date or is considered to have predeceased the distribution date under Section 75-2-702.     (b) "Distribution date," with respect to an interest, means the time when the interest is to take effect in possession or enjoyment. The distribution date need not occur at the beginning or end of a calendar day, but can occur at a time during the course of a day.     (c) "Surviving ancestor," "surviving child," or "surviving descendant" means an ancestor, a child, or a descendant who neither predeceased the distribution date nor is considered to have predeceased the distribution date under Section 75-2-702.       (2) If an applicable statute or a governing instrument calls for property to be distributed or taken "per capita at each generation," the property is divided into as many equal shares as there are:   (a) surviving descendants in the generation nearest to the designated ancestor which contains one or more surviving descendants; and     (b) deceased descendants in the same generation who left surviving descendants, if any. Each surviving descendant in the nearest generation is allocated one share. The remaining shares, if any, are combined and then divided in the same manner among the surviving descendants of the deceased descendants as if the surviving descendants who were allocated a share and their surviving descendants had predeceased the distribution date.       (3) If a governing instrument calls for property to be distributed or taken "per stirpes," "by representation," or "by right of representation," the property is divided into as many equal shares as there are:   (a) surviving children of the designated ancestor; and     (b) deceased children who left surviving descendants. Each surviving child, if any, is allocated one share. The share of each deceased child with surviving descendants is divided in the same manner, with subdivision repeating at each succeeding generation until the property is fully allocated among surviving descendants.       (4) If a governing instrument calls for property to be distributed or taken "per capita," "share and share alike," or "to the survivor of them," the property is divided into as many equal shares as there are living persons named on the distribution date.     (5) For the purposes of Subsections (2) and (3), an individual who is deceased and left no surviving descendant is disregarded, and an individual who leaves a surviving ancestor who is a descendant of the designated ancestor is not entitled to a share.

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.

If the designated individual's surviving spouse is living but is remarried at the time the disposition is to take effect in possession or enjoyment, the surviving spouse is not an heir of the designated individual.

75-2-802. Effect of divorce, annulment, and decree of separation.    (1) An individual who is divorced from the decedent or whose marriage to the decedent has been annulled is not a surviving spouse unless, by virtue of a subsequent marriage, the individual is married to the decedent at the time of death. A decree of separation that does not terminate the status of husband and wife is not a divorce for purposes of this section.     (2) For purposes of Part 1, Intestate Succession, Part 2, Elective Share of Surviving Spouse, Part 3, Spouse and Children Unprovided for in Wills, and Part 4, Exempt Property and Allowances, and Section 75-3-203, a surviving spouse does not include:   (a) an individual who obtains or consents to a final decree or judgment of divorce from the decedent or an annulment of their marriage, which decree or judgment is not recognized as valid in this state, unless subsequently they participate in a marriage ceremony purporting to marry each to the other or live together as husband and wife;     (b) an individual who, following an invalid decree or judgment of divorce or annulment obtained by the decedent, participates in a marriage ceremony with a third individual; or     (c) an individual who was a party to a valid proceeding concluded by an order purporting to terminate all marital property rights.

(3) A nongeneral power of appointment or a general testamentary power of appointment is invalid unless within 1,000 years after its creation the power of appointment is irrevocably exercised or terminates.     (4) The language in a governing instrument is inoperative to the extent it produces a period of time that exceeds 1,000 years after if, in measuring a period from the creation of a trust or other property arrangement, the language:   (a) seeks to disallow the vesting or termination of any interest or trust beyond;     (b) seeks to postpone the vesting or termination of any interest or trust until; or     (c) seeks to operate in effect in any similar fashion upon, the later of:   (i) the expiration of a period of time not exceeding 1,000 years; or     (ii) the expiration of a period of time that exceeds or might exceed 1,000 years.
