Dear Newsgroup,
I believe that Heirs then and now refers to all
such Persons or groups of persons ( Such as the poor or the parish church)
listed within the will of a deceased person who are to recieve something, On
Occasion Persons have been listed in a will so as to specify that They`re to
recieve no portion of the estate along with those Who are to recieve an
inheritance. Sometimes an inheritance is left to the Heirs of someome else such as a
relative of the deceased or a business partner. No two wills are precisely
the same, but in general They run along the same general lines.
Sincerely,
