Re: If a beneficiary dieswho receives his benefit
Depends upon language of the Will. Most Wills state that if a beneficiary dies, his/her share goes to the children if any, before being allocated among the remaining heirs. If there is no Will (intestacy), this is the result by the NJ intestacy statute.
