No Will – Example 5

Parent Dies After all Children, Leaving Surviving Grandchildren

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

---

If Jane dies as a widow, after all her children:

• Charles is disregarded.
• Jane’s grandson through Bertha, Howard, gets his mother’s share, 1/3.
• Jane’s grandchildren through Doris (Nick and Liz) split their mother’s share and get 1/6^th each.
• Jane’s grandchildren through Alfred (Joe, Heather, and Barbara) split their father’s share, and each get 1/9^th each.
