Section 43-8-49 Advancements. If a person dies intestate as to all his estate, property which
he gave in his lifetime to an heir is treated as an advancement against the latter's share
of the estate only if declared in a contemporaneous writing by the decedent or acknowledged
in writing by the heir to be an advancement. For this purpose the property advanced is valued
as of the time the heir came into possession or enjoyment of the property or as of the time
of death of the decedent, whichever first occurs. If the recipient of the property fails to
survive the decedent, the property is not taken into account in computing the intestate share
to be received by the recipient's issue, unless the declaration or acknowledgment provides
otherwise. (Acts 1982, No. 82-399, p. 578, §2-110.)...

of any will executed before the waiver or property settlement. (Acts...
