| 释义 | legal rights legal rights in the succession law of Scotland, the FINANCIAL PROVISION that the law takes from a person's estate for relatives. Before this exercise takes place, statutory prior rights have to be considered – they are every bit as legal and can quite often exhaust an estate – however, prior rights operate only on INTESTACY. Legal rights apply whether there is or is not a WILL. The free moveable estate, i.e. exclu- sive of HERITAGE, is divided into three parts: one for the widow or widower, called jus relictae or jus relicti respectively; one for the chil- dren or, if dying before the deceased, their representative(s), called LEGITIM or the bairn's part; and the dead's part, which, as the names suggests, means that it can be willed with impunity. Clearly, these provisions can be avoided by transferring one's property into her- itage or disposing of the property during life. |
