Neteko matyti konkretaus termino atitikmens, tačiau jo reikšmė tokia:

Palikimo sąlygų nevykdymas, kai turtas testatoriaus mirties metu nepriklausė testatoriui.

Taip gali atsitikti dėl to, kad, pvz., turtas buvo sunakintas, parduotas ar pamestas, arba dėl to, kad turtas perėjo paveldėtojo nuosavybėn dar testatoriui esant gyvam.
