Wisconsin Code § 700.08

Estate tail becomes fee simple; effect of gift over after attempted estate tail
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
The use of language in an
instrument appropriate to create a present or future interest in fee
tail, such as to a named person “and the heirs of his body” or “and
the heirs of her body” or “and his issue” or “and her issue”, creates a present or future interest in fee simple. If the same instrument attempts to create a future interest after the interest that is
made a fee simple by reason of this section, the future interest is
valid.
