524.2-705 CLASS GIFTS CONSTRUED TO ACCORD WITH INTESTATE SUCCESSION.
Adopted individuals and individuals born out of wedlock, and their respective descendants if
appropriate to the class, are included in class gifts and other terms of relationship in accordance
with the rules for intestate succession. Terms of relationship that do not differentiate relationships
by blood from those by affinity, such as "uncles," "aunts," "nieces," or "nephews," are presumed
to exclude relatives by affinity. Terms of relationship that do not differentiate relationships by the
half blood from those by the whole blood, such as "brothers," "sisters," "nieces," or "nephews,"
are presumed to include both types of relationships.
