English term or phrase: anti-lapse statute

When a land conveyance is made to someone who predeceases the grantor, the heirs of the grantee may take the conveyance if the state has an *anti-lapse statute*.

Es una ley del derecho anglosajón. No sé si tiene equivalente en español, pero tal vez la comunidad hispana de Estados Unidos la denomine de alguna manera.

Gracias!

Thanks. This is the nearest translation. I have discovered there is a legal concept in Spanish: "reversión de legado" that corresponds to the lapse statute. Then the anti-lapse statute "revoca la reversión."

Notes to answerer

Asker: They are two different statutes: the "anti-lapse" intends to deter the effects of the "lapse statute". Your translation would be more situable for the "lapse statute".
