Re: Inheritance
If the last parent dies without a will, the surviving child gets everything. If there is no surviving child, the grandchildren share based on what their parents would have received.
If the last surviving parent dies with a will, the estate will be distributed according to the will. If it provides for the children to share per stirpes, then the grandchild gets what his parent would have received.
