A more thorough explanation: “Legitime” refers to a portion of a deceased person’s estate that is reserved by law for certain heirs, typically children or spouses, and cannot be freely disposed of by the deceased through a will.
Example: The court found that the will was executed in accordance with all legal requirements and was therefore deemed to be legitimate.
