pretermission statute

pretermission statute
Those laws of the various states which make provision for children and heirs who have been omitted from the will of the father or ancestor. Commonly the child takes the same share of the estate which he would have taken if the testator had died intestate unless the omission was intentional and not occasioned by accident or mistake. Nicholson v. Sorensen, Alaska, 517 P.2d 766, 768.
