Estates and trusts: kindred: definition.

Existing law uses the term "kindred" in various provisions of the Probate Code, including a provision that specifies that if a transferee is dead when a testamentary instrument is executed, or fails or is treated as failing to survive the transferor or until a future time required by the instrument, the issue of the deceased transferee take in the transferee's place, as specified, and defines transferee to mean a person who is kindred of the transferor or kindred of a surviving, deceased, or former spouse of the transferor. This bill would define the term "kindred" for purposes of that provision to specifically exclude a spouse of the transferor.
