3.—(1) Fé réir forálacha an Achta so, beidh duine dlisteanuithe agus a chéile no a chlann no a sliocht san i dteideal leas ar bith do thógaint:—
(a) in estát duine d'éag tar éis dáta an dlisteanuithe gan uacht do dhéanamh;

(2) Má bhíonn an ceart chun maoine ar bith, réalta no pearsanta, ag brath ar an sinsearacht a bheidh ag clainn duine ar bith ar a chéile, agus go mbeidh duine no daoine dlisteanuithe ar an gclainn sin, isí sinsearacht a bheidh ag an duine no ag na daoine dlisteanuithe sin ná an tsinsearacht do bheadh aige no acu dá mb'ar an lá tháinig seisean no iad-san chun bheith dlisteanuithe de bhua an Achta so do béarfaí eisean no iad-san, agus má tháinig níos mó ná aon duine dlisteanuithe amháin den tsórt san chun bheith dlisteanuithe san aon am amháin, is do réir ord a sinsearachta bheidh a gcéim eatorra féin.
(3) Má bhíonn maoin, réalta no pearsanta, no aon leas inti, teoranta i slí gur maraon le dighnit no teideal onóra (chó gar do is leigeann an dlí é) do thuitfeadh sí chun duine (fé réir theoranta no muirir ar bith do bheadh ann cheana no gan iad) dá mba ná rithfí an tAcht so, ansan, ní oibreoidh éinní san Acht so chun na maoine ná aon leasa inti do dheighilt amach ón dighnit no ón teideal onóra san ach raghaidh agus tuitfidh an céanna chun an duine sin (gan dochar do sna teoranta ná do sna muirir sin atá ann cheana) díreach fé is dá mba ná rithfí an tAcht so. Beidh feidhm ag an bhfo-alt so, pe'ca deintear tagairt shoiléir ar bith don dighnit no don teideal onóra no ná deintear agus d'ainneoin gur féidir an mhaoin no leas éigin inti do theacht chun bheith deighilte amach uaidh i gcásanna áirithe.
(4) Ní bheidh feidhm ag an alt so ach i gcás ná deintear agus sa mhéid ná deintear a mhalairt d'intinn do nochta sa leithliú, agus beidh éifeacht aige fé réir téarmaí an leithlithe agus na bhforálacha bheidh ann.
Comharbas i gcás daoine dlisteanuithe agus a sliocht d'éag gan uacht do dhéanamh.
4.—Má éagann duine dlisteanuithe no duine de chlainn no de shliocht chlainne duine dhlisteanuithe agus a mhaoin go léir, réalta agus pearsanta, no aon chuid di d'fhágaint gan uacht do dhéanamh ina taobh, beidh na daoine céanna i dteideal na leasanna céanna do thógaint inti do bheidís i dteideal a thógaint dá mba ina dhlisteanach do béarfaí an duine dlisteanuithe.

(2) Nothing in this Act shall operate to legitimate a person unless the father and mother of such person could have been lawfully married to one another at the time of birth of such person or at some time during the period of ten months preceding such birth.
(3) The legitimation of a person under this Act does not enable him or his spouse, children or remoter issue to take any interest in real or personal property save as is hereinafter in this Act expressly provided.
(4) The provisions contained in the Schedule to this Act shall have effect with respect to the re-registration of the birth of legitimated persons.
Declarations of legitimacy of legitimated persons.
2.—(1) A person claiming that he is or that any of his parents or remoter ancestors is or was a legitimated person may, whether he is or is not domiciled in Saorstát Eireann and whether he is or is not a natural-born British subject within the meaning of the Legitimacy Declaration Act (Ireland), 1868, institute proceedings under that Act, and that Act shall apply accordingly.
(2) The Circuit Court shall have and may exercise jurisdiction in proceedings instituted by virtue of this section under the Legitimacy Declaration Act (Ireland), 1868, and section 25 and the provisoes to section 48 of the Courts of Justice Act, 1924 (No. 10 of 1924), shall apply in respect of all such proceedings.
(3) The jurisdiction conferred by this section on the Circuit Court shall be exercised by the Judge of that Court for the time being assigned to the Circuit in which the person instituting the proceedings is residing or, where such person does not reside in Saorstát Eireann, to the Circuit which includes the City of Dublin.

(a) in the estate of an intestate dying after the date of legitimation;
(b) under any disposition coming into operation after the date of legitimation;
(c) by descent under an estate in tail created after the date of legitimation;
in like manner as if the legitimated person had been born legitimate.
(2) Where the right to any property, real or personal, depends on the relative seniority of the children of any person, and those children include one or more legitimated persons, the legitimated person or persons shall rank as if he or they had been born on the day when he or they became legitimated by virtue of this Act, and if more than one such legitimated person became legitimated at the same time, they shall rank as between themselves in order of seniority.
(3) Where property real or personal or any interest therein is limited in such a way that, if this Act had not been passed, it would (subject or not to any preceding limitations or charges) have devolved (as nearly as the law permits) along with a dignity or title of honour, then nothing in this Act shall operate to sever the property or any interest therein from such dignity or title of honour, but the same shall go and devolve (without prejudice to the preceding limitations or charges aforesaid) in like manner as if this Act had not been passed. This sub-section applies, whether or not there is any express reference to the dignity or title of honour, and notwithstanding that in some events the property or some interest therein may become severed therefrom.

Application to illegitimate persons dying before marriage of parents.
5.—Where an illegitimate person dies after the commencement of this Act and before the marriage of his parents leaving any spouse, children or remoter issue living at the date of such marriage, then, if that person would, if living at the time of the marriage of his parents, have become a legitimated person, the provisions of this Act with respect to the taking of interests in property by, or in succession to, the spouse, children and remoter issue of a legitimated person (including those relating to the rate of death duties) shall apply as if such person as aforesaid had been a legitimated person, and the date of the marriage of his parents had been the date of legitimation.
Personal rights and obligations of legitimated persons.

Death duties.
7.—Where a legitimated person or any relative of a legitimated person takes any interest in real or personal property, any succession, legacy or other duty which becomes leviable after the date of legitimation shall be payable at the same rate as if the legitimated person had been born legitimate.
Provisions as to persons legitimated by extraneous law.
8.—(1) Where the parents of an illegitimate person marry or have married one another, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, and the father of the illegitimate person was or is at the time of the marriage domiciled in a country other than Saorstát Eireann by the law of which the illegitimate person became legitimated by virtue of such subsequent marriage, that person, if living, shall in Saorstát Eireann be recognised as having been so legitimated from the commencement of this Act or from the date of the marriage, whichever last happens, notwithstanding that his father was not at the time of the birth of such person domiciled in a country in which legitimation by subsequent marriage was permitted by law.
(2) All the provisions of this Act relating to legitimated persons and to the taking of interests in property by or in succession to a legitimated person and the spouse, children and remoter issue of a legitimated person (including those relating to the rate of death duties) shall apply in the case of a person recognised as having been legitimated under this section, or who would, had he survived the marriage of his parents, have been so recognised; and accordingly, this Act shall have effect as if reference therein to a legitimated person included a person so recognised as having been legitimated.
Right of illegitimate child and mother of illegitimate child to succeed on intestacy of the other.
9.—(1) Where, after the commencement of this Act, the mother of an illegitimate child, such child not being a legitimated person, dies intestate as respects all or any of her real or personal property, and does not leave any legitimate issue her surviving, the illegitimate child, or, if he is dead, his issue, shall be entitled to take any interest therein to which he or such issue would have been entitled if he had been born legitimate.
(2) Where, after the commencement of this Act, an illegitimate child, not being a legitimated person, dies intestate in respect of all or any of his real or personal property, his mother if surviving shall be entitled to take any interest therein to which she would have been entitled if the child had been born legitimate and she had been the only surviving parent.
