substiutional heirs Explanation: Well, gee! That's the same answer as for "Nacherben". I'll be! I do have a feeling there is no difference legally between "Nacherben" and "Ersatzerben". I Kim's suggestion "alternate heirs" is very good. "If there are no descendants, then each of the alternate heirs are substitutional heirs with regard to one another." That's what I would make of it.

alternate heir Explanation: I agree with Kim Metzger. This is the term used in the U.S. It's a "person appointed to be heir in the event that a first appointed heir is unable or unwilling to accept the inhreitance (in case of death or disclaimer before or after the death of the decedent)." Dietl/Lorenz, Dictionary of Legal, Commercial and Political Terms |

in support of Kim's and "rosef"'s suggestion: alternate heirs Explanation: Here's the statutory definition of "Ersatzerbe" and the "Auslegungsregel": Section 2096, Buergerliches Gesetzbuch: "[Einsetzung als Ersatzerbe]Der Erblasser kann fuer den Fall, dass ein Erbe vor oder nach dem Eintritte des Erbfalls wegfaellt, einen anderen als Erben einsetzen (Ersatzerbe)." Section 2097: "[Auslegungsregel] Ist jemand fuer den Fall, dass der zunaechst berufene Erbe nicht Erbe sein kann, oder fuer den Fall, dass er nicht Erbe sein will, als Ersatzerbe eingesetzt, so ist im Zweifel anzunehmen, dass er fuer beide Faelle eingesetzt ist." BGB, professional experience |

alternate heirs, substitutional heirs Explanation: “Alternate heir” is by far the most frequently used term. Here is an example: http://www.lawclerks.com/HTML/willsQ.html “ALTERNATE HEIR (S): Name all of the individuals who will receive your assets should the primary heir predecease you. If there are no alternatives, the property will return to your estate to be included in the gift to the remaining heir (s). If you have more than 5 alternative heirs, let us know in the comments section.” I was able to find only one reference for “substitutional heir”: http://www.elwing.de/Lexikon_D-E.html “Ersatzerbe: substitutional heir.” Fuad Reference: http://www.lawclerks.com/HTML/willsQ.html Reference: http://www.elwing.de/Lexikon_D-E.html |
