latter case, he or she shall relinquish any benefits which may have been provided for him or her by the will. 168. Devolution of interest relinquished by owner. An interest relinquished under section 167 shall devolve as if it had not been disposed of by the will in favour of the legatee, subject, nevertheless, to the charge of making good to the legatee the amount or value of the gift attempted to be given to him or her by the will. 169. Testator’s belief as to his or her ownership immaterial. Sections 167 and 168 shall apply whether the testator does or does not believe that which he or she professes to dispose of by his or her will to be his or her own. 170. Bequest for person’s benefit. A bequest for the benefit of a person is, for the purpose of election, the same thing as a bequest made to him or her. 171. Benefit derived indirectly. A person taking no benefit directly under a will, but deriving a benefit under it indirectly, is not put to his or her election. 172. Person taking in individual capacity under will may, in other character, elect to take in opposition. A person who, in his or her individual capacity, takes a benefit under the will may, in another character, elect to take in opposition to the will. 173. Exception to preceding sections. Notwithstanding sections 167 to 172, where a particular gift is expressed in a will to be in lieu of something belonging to the legatee, which is also in terms disposed of by the will, if the legatee claims that thing, he or she must relinquish the particular gift, but he or she is not bound to relinquish any other benefit given to him or her by the will.
