Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan
estates
In the michigan, a man dies. He has no wife or children. Both his mother and father are deceased. He has six siblings. One of them has predeceased him. The one that has predeceased him has two children both living.
Who is entitled to his estate? Is it solely the five remaining siblings or are the two children of the predeceased sibling entitled to a 6th of the estate just as if the predeceased sibling were living?

Re: estates
Unless there is a will distributing the estate, it is divided into 6 shares. The 2 children of the deceased sibling will share one share. The 5 living siblings will each get one share.
