No Will – Example 4

Parent Dies After Child

We’ll use the same family tree for all our detailed examples:

---

If Jane dies as a widow, with living and dead children:

• If Jane dies after Charles, and Charles has no living heirs:

• Charles’s share is disregarded.
• Jane’s surviving children, Alfred, Bertha, and Doris, each get 1/3^rd.

---

• If Jane dies after Doris, and Nick and Liz are still alive:

• Jane’s surviving children, Albert, Bertha, and Charles, get 1/4^th each.
• Jane’s grandchildren through Doris (Nick and Liz) split their mother’s share, and get 1/8^th each.
