They are to be given such meaning as giAres effect to the real intent of the testator. Such Avords as heirs, or legal heirs, though their technical significance is not to be overlooked, may, to give effect to the testator’s intent, be held to refer to others than those who are technically heirs and may exclude those Avho are technically heirs.” (Citing many cases.)”
