If not stated in a will, the future interest is the reversioner.

The key idea is what happens to property when a grantor transfers less than a full ownership and doesn’t name who takes after the current estate ends. In that situation, the law fills the gap by keeping a future interest with the grantor—called a reversion. This reversionary interest automatically becomes possessory when the prior estate ends, unless a remainder or other arrangement is specified. Since nothing in a will was stated to name a successor or a specific beneficiary, the default holder of that future interest is the reversioner—the grantor (or the grantor’s estate/heirs). A remainder would require an express designation of a future taker after the ending of the initial estate, which isn’t present here. Heir at law relates to intestate succession, not the immediate future interest in the transfer, and a trustee is a fiduciary role, not a future interest arising from the conveyance.
