Full text of Mississippi Mississippi Code of 1972 Annotated § 89-25-11 — Prospective application., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 89-25-11. Prospective application.
Except as provided by subsection (2) of this section, this chapter applies to a nonvested property interest or a power of appointment that is created on or after July 1, 2015. For purposes of this section, a nonvested property interest or a power of appointment created by the exercise of a power of appointment is created when the power is irrevocably exercised or when a revocable exercise becomes irrevocable. If a nonvested property interest or a power of appointment was created before July 1, 2015 and is determined in a judicial proceeding, commenced on or after July 1, 2015, to violate this state’s rule against perpetuities as that rule existed before July 1, 2015, a court upon the petition of an interested person may reform the disposition in the manner that most closely approximates the transferor’s manifested plan of distribution and is within the limits of the rule against perpetuities applicable when the nonvested property interest or power of appointment was created.
