universal succession

universal succession
The artificial continuance of the person of a deceased by an executor, heir, or the like, so far as succession to rights and obligations is concerned. It is a fiction, the historical origin of which is familiar to scholars, and it is this fiction that gives whatever meaning it has to the saying mobilia sequuntur personam. Blackstone v Miller, 188 US 189, 47 L Ed 439, 23 S Ct 277.
