falt arv
The above is mentioned in a POA, in the context of "å motta eller avslå falt arv". The literal translation "fallen inheritance" rather jars with me, though. Are there any more viable alternatives anyone can think of?

Proposed translations
inheritance
I would translate ""å motta eller avslå falt arv"." as "to accept or disclaim your inheritance". If you receive an inheritance and you decide not to accept it, then you may disclaim the benefit.

devolved inheritance | Scots law > accrued heritage
literally> the inheritance fallen in or passed down vs. vested. As usual, it would be mistaken to assume Scots letters of confirmation law convergence with English probate and succession law.
Thinking "devolution of succession" apart from the connotation of devolution of powers for Scotland, is the way to go.
I would avoid the term of vested / by the personal reps. *in* or E&W *assented* by them *to* the beneficiaries and rightful heirs>heiresses, as appears to contradict avslå as a pre~vesting disclaimer. Once vested IMO, it would be too late to disclaim> Kirbey turn down or refuse an inheritance.
PS in the words of a Welsh lecturer in land law and conveyancing at a weekend LLB London External revision course at Cambridge> "there is no point asking me whz the law is that way or so obscure. I did not make the law".
Habsburg: following the death of Duke Rudolf IV, whose inheritance fell to his younger brothers, the Habsburg possessions were partitioned for decades.

Thanks, but the common ProZ misconception / misapprehension is that an inheritance automatically vests in the beneficiaries. It does not, only in "persons entitled on intestacy". In England, an "assent"/probate conveyance is needed to transfer the gift.
