Norwegian term or phrase: førsteavdødes og lengstlevendes
....de midler som skal deles likt mellom førsteavdødes og lengstlevendes arvinger.

I have never come across this phrase before and have no idea what it means! Is it a standard phrase from insurance contracts?

Explanation:
The predeased unqualified without a party or a spouse doesn't work too well.

Example sentence(s):
