Northern Territory Consolidated Acts Northern Territory Consolidated Acts39. How requirements to survive with issue are to be construed
(1) If a disposition to a person is expressed to fail if there is -
(a) a want or failure of issue of that person either in his or her lifetime or at his or her death; or
(b) an indefinite failure of issue of that person,
the words used are to be construed to mean a want or failure of issue in the person's lifetime or at the person's death and not an indefinite failure of his or her issue.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply if a contrary intention appears in the will unless the result would cause the disposition to fail.
