Nemo Est Haeres Viventis Law and Legal Definition
Nemo est haeres viventis means no one is the heir of a living person. A person becomes an actual, complete heir of another only when the ancestor dies. Before a person can be an heir, his/her ancestor or person from who s/he inherits must be dead.
In accordance with the maxim, nemo est haeres viventis, the living children are only heirs expectant, and hence no one can take an estate under that designation while the ancestor is living. [Butler v. Huestis, 68 Ill. 594 (Ill. 1873)]
