524.2-210 PERSONAL LIABILITY OF RECIPIENTS.
(a) Only original recipients of the decedent's nonprobate transfers to others, and the donees
of the recipients of the decedent's nonprobate transfers to others, to the extent the donees have the
property or its proceeds, are liable to make a proportional contribution toward satisfaction of the
surviving spouse's elective-share or supplemental elective-share amount. A person liable to make
contribution may choose to give up the proportional part that has been received of the decedent's
nonprobate transfers or to pay the value of the amount for which the person is liable.
(b) If any section or part of any section of this part is preempted by federal law with respect
to a payment, an item of property, or any other benefit included in the decedent's nonprobate
transfers to others, a person who is not a bona fide purchaser and who receives the payment, item
of property, or any other benefit is obligated to return the payment, item of property, or benefit, or
is personally liable for the amount of the payment or the value of that item of property or benefit,
as provided in section 524.2-209, to the person who would have been entitled to it were that
section or part of that section not preempted.
