Section 28-9-218 - Doctrine of first purchaser abolished

This subchapter is intended to abolish the common law rule of the blood of the first purchaser under which in the case of successive inheritances of land the intestate's property would descend only to such of his or her heirs as were of the blood of the next preceding ancestor in the line of successive descents who acquired title by purchase, that is to say, by any method other than descent.Acts 1969, No. 303, § 16; A.S.A. 1947, § 61-146.
