Where it is clear that, in the event of the legatee or devisee predeceasing the testator, an alternative bequest is intended to be substituted, the alternative gift takes effect notwithstanding the death of the original legatee in the testator's lifetime; thus a gift to a person or his heirs has been treated as an alternative bequest and the next-of-kin surviving the testator will take. (Halsbury's Laws of England, 3rd ed., v. 39, 1962, p. 939)
