Simple Definition
Nepos is a Latin word that means grandson or nephew. In Roman law, it referred to a person's grandson, but later it was used to describe a person's nephew. The term nepos became neveu and then "nephew." A nephew is the son of a person's brother or sister, and sometimes it can include the son of a person's brother-in-law or sister-in-law. It can also be used to describe a grandchild or any descendant. In some wills, it can even include a grandnephew.
