Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

We are in the middle of an estate in which the deceased has 4 Aunts and Uncles who would have been the heirs however they are all deceased. The estate now is going to the first cousins. My questions is one Aunt had 9 kids all others had 1 to 2 kids. Does the estate get divided by 4 (for the number of aunts and uncles) and then divided or will it going equally to all first cousins?

The answer to your question depends on the wording of the will. Call a probate attorney and get a consultation about what may be a complicated situation. Many attorneys will meet with you on a free or reduced fee basis.
