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 1/3rd.
- If Jane dies after Doris, and Nick and Liz are still alive:

- Jane’s surviving children, Albert, Bertha, and Charles, get 1/4th each.
- Jane’s grandchildren through Doris (Nick and Liz) split their mother’s share, and get 1/8th each.
- If Jane dies after Charles and Doris, and Nick and Liz are still alive:

- Charles’s share is disregarded.
- Jane’s surviving children, Albert and Bertha, get 1/3rd each.
- Jane’s grandchildren through Doris (Nick and Liz) split their mother’s share, and get 1/6th each.
