Dear CB: I'm wrong about "legitim" having been a typo. I searched again and found two sites
that used it, but not as an adverb. One gave sort of a definition:
"LEGITIM: That part of an estate over which the testator has no power of disposal if there
are forced heirs, the latter beingalways the children and generally the surviving spouse.
Some laws include the parents and other ascendants or descendants."
