Reversionary heir not yet conceived

(1) If a person not yet conceived at the time of the devolution of the inheritance is appointed heir, then in case of doubt it is to be assumed that the person is appointed as reversionary heir. If it does not correspond to the testator’s intention that the person appointed is to become reversionary heir, the appointment is ineffective.

(2) The same applies to the appointment of a legal person that comes into existence only after the devolution of the inheritance; the provision of section 84 remains unaffected.
