Heirs to the reserved portion of the inheritance
Explanation:
Assuming the French and Belgian systems are simular then this phrase would cover "voorbehouden erfgenamen":

"In France this freedom is restricted to what is known as the quotit disponible. The rest of the property, the reserved portion (reserve héréditarre) passes without regard to your wishes to the forced heirs. The extent of the reserved portion depends on whether the individual is survived by descendants and ascendants. If there are none, there is no reserved portion.
" etc.

statutory heirs


Explanation:
An heir who inherits under a legal right, as opposed to under a specific bequest, is a statutory heir or a legal heir.

E.g.:
-> "Elizabeth died some years ago and The Lantern -- land and business -- passed by inheritance to Elizabeth’s sole statutory heir, her sister Jane, who currently owns the real estate and runs the business."
