What it does

Existing law provides rules for the interpretation of wills, trusts, deeds, and other instruments, which are to be used as interpretive aids if the intention of the transferor is not indicated by the instrument. Under existing law, if after the execution of the instrument of gift, specifically given property is sold, or mortgaged by a conservator or by an agent acting within the authority of a durable power of attorney for an incapacitated principal, the transferee of the specific gift has the right to a general pecuniary gift equal to the net sale price of, or the amount of the unpaid loan encumbrance on, the property.
