The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 31B-3 is hereby amended by adding a new subsection thereto to read as follows:
"( c)	In the event that the decedent dies intestate, or the ownership or succession to property or an interest is to be determined as though a decedent had died intestate, the property or interest renounced shall be distributed to the persons who would be heirs of the renouncer other than the renouncer's spouse in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 29 of the General Statutes, Intestate Succession, as if the renouncer died intestate immediately after the decedent."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification and applies to any renunciation made on or after that date.
