§ 622. Beneficiaries
Where two or more beneficiaries are designated to take successively by reason of survivorship
under another person’s disposition of property and there is not sufficient evidence
that these beneficiaries have died otherwise than simultaneously, the property thus
disposed of shall be divided into as many equal portions as there are successive beneficiaries
and these portions shall be distributed respectively to those who would have taken
in the event that each designated beneficiary had survived.
