Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania
wills
If my son or daughter pasted away before I did & my will states they're to split everything evenly & I never changed this before I pasted away. Who would inherit that half of the estate? They're both married with children of their own.

Re: wills
Depending on the wording in your will, the children of the deceased child may inherit their parent's share. However, it would be better for you to change your will when such major changes occur in the family.
You should consult an estates lawyer in your county to make sure that your will accomplishes what you want. Do not depend on "fill-in-the-blank" forms, as they may cause more problems later, when you are not around to fix them.
