Re: been a beneficiary
I believe your question is "if a beneficiary under a will dies before the testator, do the beneficiary's offspring inherit the beneficiary's share?"
If that is your question, the answer is "it depends". If you can get a copy of the will, any lawyer can answer your question for you. Without the specific language though, any answer you get will be along the lines of "maybe/maybe not."
