• “To A for life, then to B’s first child.” A is alive. B, as yet, has no children.

• “To A for life, then to B’s heirs.” A is alive. B is alive. Because a living person has no heirs, while B is alive his heirs are unknown

• “To A for life, then to those children of B who survive A.” A is alive. We don’t yet know which, if any, of B’s children will survive A.
