Ratio:The meaning of the word ‘survive’ in a limitation of property, is that the person to survive shall be living at the time of the event which he is to survive; it does not mean living at any time whatever after the event referred to. Consequently, a gift over, if there should be no child or remoter issue of AB who should survive the testator and AB, and should live to attain twenty-one, is not void for remoteness.
