An '''heir presumptive''' ({{abbr|{{sc|fem:}}|feminine form}} '''heiress presumptive''') is the person entitled to inherit a throne, peerage, or other hereditary honour, but whose position can be displaced by the birth of a person with a better claim to the position in question.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://definitions.uslegal.com/h/heir-presumptive/ |title=Heir Presumptive Law & Legal Definition |publisher=USLegal.com |access-date=2012-11-07}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://dictionary.reverso.net/english-definition/presumptive%20nominee |title=Heir presumptive |publisher=Reverso.net |access-date=2012-11-07}}</ref> This is in contrast to an [[heir

##the descendant's refusal or inability to adopt a religion the monarch is required to profess.
The subsequent birth of a legitimate child to the monarch may displace the former heir presumptive by creating an heir apparent or a more eligible heir presumptive. It is not assumed that the monarch and his or her consort are incapable of producing further children; on the day before Queen [[Elizabeth II]] ascended the throne, her father [[George VI]] was gravely ill and her mother was 51 years old, but Elizabeth was still
Heir presumptive, like heir apparent, is not a title or position ''per se''. Rather, it is a general term for a person who holds a certain place in the [[order of succession]]. In some monarchies, the heir apparent bears, ''[[ipso facto]]'', a specific title and rank (e.g., Denmark, Netherlands, United Kingdom), this also sometimes being the case for noble titleholders (e.g., Spain, United Kingdom), but the heir presumptive does not bear that title. In other monarchies (e.g., Monaco, Spain) the first in line to the throne bears a specific title (i.e., "Hereditary Prince/Princess of Monaco", "Prince/Princess of Asturias") by right, regardless of whether she or he is heir apparent or heir presumptive.
Line 20:
{{main|Abeyance}}
In the [[English law|English and Welsh common law]] of [[inheritance]], there is no seniority between sisters; where there is no son to inherit, any number of daughters share equally. Therefore, certain hereditary titles can have multiple simultaneous heirs presumptive. Since the title cannot be held by two people simultaneously, two daughters (without a brother) who inherit in this way would do so as [[co-parceners]] and before they inherit, both would be heirs presumptive. In these circumstances, the title would in fact be held in [[abeyance]] until one person represents the claim of both, or the claim is renounced by one or the other for herself and her heirs, or the abeyance is ended by the Crown. There are [[Peerage law#Peerage disputes|special procedures]] for handling doubtful or disputed cases.
