Contrary to the general rule regarding the interpretation of the term "issue", the better view of the law is that the term, as used in the antilapse sections, does not include a child en ventre sa mère at the time of the death of the donee or beneficiary. By legislation in all provinces it does include an adopted child and a legitimated child. In some provinces, by more recent legislation, "issue" also includes an illegitimate child.(Feeney, 2nd, vol.

[A] living probate is addressed to the predicament of a testator who fears that after his death his estate may be subjected to a will contest in which it will be alleged that he lacked the mental capacity to execute his will. The recent legislation and draft legislation would permit the testator to bring suit against potential contestants in order to obtain an adjudication regarding his capacity while he is alive and best able to inform the determination.(77 "Mich.

The Act of Settlement is a piece of English legislation governing the succession to the English Crown. It was passed in 1701 to amend the English Bill of Rights, following the death of the last child of the then Princess Anne. It provides that(in default of any further heirs of William III of England or Princess Anne) only Protestant descendants of Sophia, dowager Electress and dowager Duchess of Hanover who have not married a Roman Catholic can succeed to the English Crown. In addition, it specifies that it is for Parliament to determine who should succeed to the throne, not the monarch. 2, record 7, English, - Act%20of%20Settlement
