Simple English definitions for legal terms

prospective heir

Read a random definition: common jury

A quick definition of prospective heir:

A prospective heir is someone who might inherit something, like money or property, but they might not if someone else is chosen instead. It's like being in line for a prize, but you're not sure if you'll actually get it. It's different from an heir who is definitely going to inherit something.

A more thorough explanation:

A prospective heir is a person who may inherit but may also be excluded from inheriting. This term is often used to refer to an heir apparent or an heir presumptive.

For example, if a king dies without a clear successor, his eldest son would be the heir apparent, meaning he is certain to inherit the throne unless he dies before his father. However, if the king's wife is pregnant at the time of his death, the unborn child would be the heir presumptive, meaning they will inherit if they are born and survive their father. In this case, the eldest son would become a prospective heir, as he may be excluded from inheriting if the unborn child is born and survives.

"Blueberry is normally the mature and smartest girl in the group. She is knowledgeable about almost everything. She spends so much time with books that she always knows exactly what others need, or where the specific topic they need will be located in her bookstore, Blueberry Books. She is a whole lot of knowledge and very well-mannered, which can confuse her friends since they struggle to understand her in some way. With her acute wit and flair for more than just average knowledge, Blueberry is a genius when it comes to organization, making plans, maps, and schedules, as long as it is not overly sophisticated." blueberry is autistic, confirmed
