Duquesne Law Review
Abstract
The Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia has adopted a doctrine of equitable modification, to be applied to a non-charitable devise or bequest which violates the Rule Against Perpetuities in order to revise the instrument in a fashion that effectuates a testator's general intent within the limitations established by the Rule.
