cumulative legacy

cumulative legacy
A legacy in addition to another legacy to the same person in the same will. Where the same beneficiary is given two monetary legacies of the same amount in different clauses of the same will, the presumption is that the testator intended the later bequest to be substitutional rather than cumulative, and the legatee is accordingly entitled to take only it. 57 Am J1st Wills § 1164.
