UNBORN CHILDREN
BENEFICIARIES UNDER WILL CONSIDERED LEGALLY ALIVE NZPA—Reuter—Copyright LONDON,’Jan. 20. The question whether unborn children could be considered as “legally alive” was decided in the Edinburgh Court of Session today. The court held that such children should benefit under a will. Four children will, therefore, share in the distribution of £103,000 willed by a man who died in 1948. His trustees were directed to divide the residue of his estate among the descendants of his sister and four brothers on condition that the descendants were alive at the time of the testator’s death. The four children—descendants of a sister and one brother —were all born soon after the man’s death.
