OBS: A legacy payable at a future time, certain to arrive, and not subject to conditions precedent, is vested, where there is a person ""in esse"" at the testator's death capable of taking when the time arrives, though his interest may be altogether defeated by his own death.... Thus a legacy to one to be paid when he attains the age of twenty-one years is a vested legacy, because it is given unconditionally and absolutely, and therefore vests an immediate interest in the legatee, of which the enjoyment only is deferred or postponed. (Black's, 5th ed., 1979, p. 1402)
