112. Mode of succession of two or more heirs. —If two or more heirs succeed together to the property of an intestate, they shall take the property—
(a) save as otherwise expressly provided in this Part, per capita and not per stirpes ; and
(b) as tenants-in-common and not as joint tenants.

113. Right of child in womb. —A person who was in the womb at the time of the death of an intestate and who is subsequently born alive shall have the same right to inherit to the intestate as if he or she had been born before the death of the intestate.

114.
