conveyor's heirs
Under common law rule, when a remainder was limited to heirs of grantor or testator, such heirs did not take a remainder; instead, the estate was considered a reversion in the grantor or testator, and hence, if heirs took at all, they would take by descent, not by purchase. This rule, known as rule of worthier title (Braswell v. Braswell, 195 Va. 971, 81 S.E.2d 560) has been abolished in many jurisdictions.
