Found on Google:
Lapsed devise, Lapsed legacy (Law), a devise, or legacy,
which fails to take effect in consequence of the death of
the devisee, or legatee, before that of the testator, or
for ether cause. --Wharton (Law Dict.).
Not sure how it would apply to your scenario, Wendi, just thought I'd throw it out there. Hope it helps.
