Es una ley del derecho anglosajón. No sé si tiene equivalente en español, pero tal vez la comunidad hispana de Estados Unidos la denomine de alguna manera.
Gracias!

ley que interrumpe la prescripción
This may work in your context, but as you indicate it would be interesting to see how this is translated in the US.

Comment: "Thanks. This is the nearest translation. I have discovered there is a legal concept in Spanish: "reversión de legado" that corresponds to the lapse statute. Then the anti-lapse statute "revoca la reversión.""

ley de prescripcion
de acuerdo a Blacks law dictionary, antilapse statute is also termed lapse statute.
lapse statute==>ley de prescripcion
lapse statute==>ley de prescripcion
Note from asker:
| They are two different statutes: the "anti-lapse" intends to deter the effects of the "lapse statute". Your translation would be more situable for the "lapse statute". |
