A quick definition of secondary devise:
A secondary devise is something that is left to someone in a will as an alternative option. Secondary distribution refers to the way something is given out to people. A secondary easement is a right to use someone else's property that is not the main right. Secondary enforcement is when someone has a right that is not the main right. Secondary evidence is information that is not the main evidence. A secondary factor is something that helps a court decide if a patent is unique or not.
A more thorough explanation:
A secondary devise is a term used in legal contexts to refer to an alternative or backup plan for distributing property or assets in a will or trust. It is a provision that comes into effect if the primary devise fails or cannot be carried out for some reason.
For example, if a person leaves their entire estate to their spouse, but the spouse dies before them, the secondary devise would determine who receives the property instead.
Another example of a secondary devise could be a provision in a trust that designates a secondary beneficiary to receive the assets if the primary beneficiary is unable to do so.
