[PAULUS libro singulari de secundis tabulis. ] §30.1.126.prAb exheredati substituto inutiliter legatum datur.
[PAULUS, On the Second Tablets of the Will, Single Book] A legacy is given without effect by the substitute of a disinherited person.
ergo nec a legitimo exheredati fideicommissum dari poterit, quod et legitimi eo iure praestare coguntur, quo si scripti fuissent.
Therefore, neither can a trust be given by the intestate heir of a disinherited person, because intestate heirs also are compelled to perform under the same law as if they had been written in the will.
sed si committente aliquo ex liberis edictum praetoris, quo contra tabulas bonorum possessionem pollicetur, scriptus quoque filius contra tabulas bonorum possessionem petierit, substitutus eius legata pro modo patrimonii, quod ad filium peruenit, praestabit, perinde ac si id, quod per bonorum possessionem filius habuit, a patre accepisset.
But if, upon some of the children triggering the Praetor's edict by which he promises possession of goods contrary to the will, the written son also has claimed possession of goods contrary to the will, his substitute shall perform the legacies in proportion to the share of the estate which came to the son, just as if the son had received from his father what he held by virtue of the possession of goods.
§30.1.126.1Cum a postumo ita legetur 'si heres erit' et non nato postumo substituti adeant, legata eos debere existimandum est, quae ille, si uiueret, debiturus erat.
When a legacy is left by a posthumous child in this manner, "if he shall be the heir," and, the posthumous child not being born, the substitutes enter upon the inheritance, it must be held that they owe the legacies which he would have owed if he had lived.
