non-hotchpot, inheritance top-up clause
Special bequest doesn't get across the dodging of the hotchpot rule, namely no bringing into account and subtraction of a lifetime gift : a 'donatio inter vivos' on succession (*entregado en vida a un hijo*)
Compare the French: clause préciputaire (ou de préciput)/clause de donation hors part successorale : gift to a an heir (inheritor) out an estate, not subject to hotchpot : in addition to the heir's share of the estate, FHS Bridge. www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish-to-french/law-contracts/4669523-...
Otherwise, to any comment on the lines of 'only lawyers would understand hotchpot vs. a hotpot stew', pls. study or 'revise' *carefully* the hotchpot (deduction of advanced gifts) rule.
Advancement is a common law doctrine of *intestate succession* (invalid / no Will made) that presumes that gifts given to a person's heir during that person's life are intended as an advance on what that heir would inherit upon the death of the parent.

: I think it is fair to assume: 1) the target audience is not known; 2) If one is not a lawyer and this is intended for the layman, this "non hotchpot/hotpot stew" would not be understood; 3) Again, this appears to be more interrpretative/over-translated.

: Much too speculative; clearly we need proper context but Asker isn't responding (non logged-in visitor so maybe never will)

If so, an idea (but insufficient context) would be "covenant of improvement". https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/SantaClarita/html/SantaCla...
9. There is no adjustment of the boundary between existing parcels for which a covenant of improvement requirements has been recorded and all required improvements stated therein have not been completed unless the City Engineer determines the proposed boundary adjustment will not significantly affect said covenant of improvement requirements; and
