English translation: of

Law/Patents
German term or phrase: Erben NACH Hans Meier
these are the heirs of Hans Meier. The "after Hans Meier" does not sound right to me, but one never knows with legalese. Can anyone please confirm that I'll do alright with OF or is there a specific way to say it in English legal terms?
TIA

Explanation:
Erich, you're perfectly okay with "of". There is no hidden meaning in "nach" under German law.

This is just "old" language.

There is such a thing as reversionary heir. This is called in German \"Nacherbe.\" This is a person entitled to the estate (or a share in the estate) of a deceased on the determination of the interest of a prior (or limited) heir.
