Meaning of Preterition
(Lat. praeter and eo, to go by). In civil law. The omission by a testator of some one of his heirs who is entitled to a legitime (g. v.) in the succession. Among the Romans, the preterition of children when made by the mother was presumed to have been made with design. The preterition of sons by any other testator was considered as a wrong, and avoided the will, except the will of a soldier in service, which was not subject to so much form.
