When Death of Devisee or Legatee Causes Lapse; When Not

If a devisee or legatee dies during the lifetime of the testator, the testamentary disposition to him fails, unless an intention appears to COL120106 CH. 5 KINDRED NOT MENTIONED IN WILL, WHO SHARE IN ESTATE substitute another in his place; except that when any estate is devised or bequeathed to any kindred of the testator, and the devisee or legatee dies before the testator, leaving lineal descendants, or is dead at the time the will is executed, but leaves lineal descendants surviving the testator, such descendants take the estate so given by the will in the same manner as the devisee or legatee would have done had he survived the testator.
