Persons falling under... the potestas or manus after the will is made, but before the testator's death. In this class is included posthumous children of the testator. (1.) Posthumous children (postumt). These are children of the testator, who if bom in his lifetime would have been under his potestas, and entitled to succeed him if he died intestate. Posthumous descendants ought to be either appointed heirs or dis- inherited.
