Posthumus pro nato habetur
- Posthumus pro nato habetur

A posthumous child is regarded as born before the death of the father.
Where a gift is to "children born," it is doubtful whether this maxim of the civil law would be followed. Nevertheless, a child en ventre sa mere is to be considered a child living, so as to take under a bequest to "children living." Hall v Hancock, 32 Mass (15 Pick) 255.
