96. When bequest to testator’s child or lineal descendant does not lapse on his or her death in testator’s lifetime. Where a bequest has been made to any child or other lineal descendant of the testator, and the legatee dies in the lifetime of the testator, but any lineal descendant of his or hers survives the testator, the bequest shall not lapse, but shall take effect as if the death of the legatee had happened immediately after the death of the testator, unless a contrary intention appears by the will. 97. Bequest to legatee for benefit of another does not lapse by legatee’s death. Where a bequest is made to one person for the benefit of another, the legacy does not lapse by the death, in the testator’s lifetime, of the person to whom the bequest is made. 98. Survivorship in case of bequest to described class. Where a bequest is made simply to a described class of persons, the thing bequeathed shall go only to such of them as are alive at the testator’s death; except that if property is bequeathed to a class of persons described as standing in a particular degree of kindred to a specified individual, but their possession of it is deferred until a time later than the death of the testator by reason of a prior bequest or otherwise, the property shall at that time go to such of them as are then alive, and to the representatives of any of them who have died since the death of the testator. PART XII—VOID BEQUESTS. 99. Bequest to person who is not in existence at testator’s death. Where a bequest is made to a person by a particular description, and there is no person in existence at the testator’s death who answers the description, the bequest is void; except that if property is bequeathed to a person described as standing in a particular degree of kindred to a specified individual, but his or her possession of it is deferred until a time later than the death of the testator by reason of a prior bequest or otherwise, and if a person answering to the description is alive at the death of the testator, or comes into existence between that event and such later time, the property shall, at such later time, go to that person, or, if he or she is dead, to his or her representatives.
