Meaning of nemo est heres viventis | Babel Free

Phrase CEFR C2

New-Latin

Examples

“Suum enim nasci dicimus, qui post mortem nascitur: quoniam sicut viuentis nemo est haeres, ita nemo testatori viuo suus haeres nascitur.”

Indeed, we say that his [heir] is born, when [the heir] is born after his death: for just as no one is heir of a living person, so no one is born heir to a living testator.
