1595. Accretion to universal legatee All legacies that lapse, and are not disposed of under the preceding Articles, accrete ratably to the universal legatees. When a general legacy is phrased as a residue or balance of the estate without specifying that the residue or balance is the remaining fraction or a certain portion of the estate after the other general legacies, even though that is its effect, it shall be treated as a universal legacy for purposes of accretion under this Article. Acts 1997, No. 1421, §1, eff. July 1, 1999.
