ROBERTS, Justice,
concurring.
I join the opinion of the Court. I write only to note that 20 Pa. C.S.A. § 6111 has since been repealed by the Act of April 18, 1978, P.L. 42, § 7, and a new election scheme has been adopted by the Legislature, see, 20 Pa. C.S.A. § 2201 et seq. The new scheme includes a provision for election against
Property conveyed by the decedent during the marriage to himself and another or others with right of survivorship to the extent of any interest in the property that the decedent had the power at the time of his death unilaterally to convey absolutely or in fee.
20 Pa. C.S.A. § 2203(a)(4) (emphasis added). Although this case presents a different factual situation, the 1978 provision, where applicable, clearly requires the same result we reach today under § 6111.
