Alaska Statutes Title 34. Property § 34.27.020. Abolition of the common law rule in Shelley's case

If real property is granted or devised to a person and after the person's death, to the person's heirs or the heirs of the person's body, however the grant or devise is expressed, an estate for life only vests in the person, and a remainder goes to the person's heirs or the heirs of the person's body as purchasers.
