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.)...

Section 43-8-253 Effect of homicide on intestate succession, wills, joint assets, life insurance
and beneficiary designations; effect of bona fide purchase by third party or good faith payment
by obligor, etc. (a) A surviving spouse, heir or devisee who feloniously and intentionally
kills the decedent is not entitled to any benefits under the will or under articles 3 through
10 of this chapter, and the estate of decedent passes as if the killer had predeceased the

and intentionally kills another joint tenant thereby effects a severance of the interest of
the decedent so that the share of the decedent passes as his property and the killer has no

and tenancies in common during the respective lives of the...

a share or shares of real or personal property of any decedent is or are set apart or distributed
to any widow, heir at law or distributee of such decedent, and it appears to the satisfaction
of the court that it is to the interest of the parties interested in the estate that such
share or shares should be kept and worked together with such estate remaining undivided, the
probate court, upon the application of the executor or administrator, and of the owner or
owners of such share or shares, may order the executor or administrator to keep such share
or shares, and work the same, together with the estate remaining undivided, for a term not
exceeding 10 years; but such order must not be granted, if in conflict with the will of the

Section 43-8-43 Requirement that heir survive decedent for five days. Any person who fails
to survive the decedent by five days is deemed to have predeceased the decedent for purposes
of homestead allowance, the exempt property and intestate succession, and the decedent's heirs
are determined accordingly. If the time of death of the decedent or of the person who would
otherwise be an heir, or the times of death of both, cannot be determined, and it cannot be
established that the person who would otherwise be an heir has survived the decedent by five
days, it is deemed that the person failed to survive for the required period. This section
is not to be applied where its application would result in a taking of intestate estate by
the state under section 43-8-44. (Acts 1982, No. 82-399, §2-104.)...

Section 43-2-837 Duty of personal representative; possession of estate. Except as otherwise
provided by a decedent's will, every personal representative has a right to, and shall take
possession or control of, the decedent's property, except that any real property or tangible
personal property may be left with or surrendered to the person presumptively entitled thereto
unless or until, in the judgment of the personal representative, possession of the property
by the personal representative will be necessary for purposes of administration. A request
in writing by a personal representative for delivery of any property possessed by an heir
or devisee is conclusive evidence, in any action against the heir or devisee for possession
thereof, that the possession of the property by the personal representative is necessary for
purposes of administration. The personal representative shall pay taxes on, receive the income
therefrom, and pay the expenses reasonably necessary for the management,...

death the surviving spouse is entitled to receive, in addition to the homestead allowance,
