Record number: 2, Textual support number: 3 OBS
legs à titre particulier et legs particulier sont à éviter en common law parce qu'ils ne rendent pas la distinction que fait la common law entre les legs de biens personnels ("bequest or legacy") et les legs de biens réels ("devise"). C'est pour cela que le Comité de normalisation du PAJLO a mis de côté les termes utilisés en droit civil et en a créé de nouveaux. 3, record 2, French, - legs%20sp%C3%A9cifique%20de%20biens%20personnels
