From our Docs:

Section 8. Perpetuities. If any of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, or other provisions of this Declaration shall be unlawful, void, or voidable for violation of the rule against perpetuities, then such provisions shall continue only until twenty-one (21) years after the death of the last survivor of the now living descendants of Elizabeth II, Queen of England.

You would be surprised by the legal ties America still has with England. This isn't the first time have seen such "legal language". Again another reason why I don't quote laws...

Docs Section 8 overriden in South Carolina by statute, c. 1987. See https://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t27c006.php . Very common nationwide, perhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_lives_clause and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_against_perpetuities
