(a) Unless a will specifically provides otherwise, any children of the testator born or lawfully adopted after the execution of the will not named specifically or by reference to a class described as the children, descendants, or issue of the decedent or words of similar import, are referred to in this section as an “omitted child,” and shall receive a share of the estate as provided in this section so long as such child lives 120 hours after its birth.

(b) If the testator has no living child when the testator executed the will, an omitted child shall receive a share of the estate equal to the value of the share of the estate the omitted child would have received had the testator died intestate.

(c) If the testator had one or more children living when the testator executed the will and the will devised property to one or more of the then-living children, an omitted child is entitled to a share of equal value to the shares received by the children to whom devises were made under the will unless the testator provided for the omitted child by transfer outside the will and the testator’s intent to omit the child is established by statement of the testator, based on the amount transferred to the omitted child, or other evidence. [Ord. 53 § 8412, amended, 10/30/2018; Ord. 50B § 8412, amended, 6/22/2017.]
