It depends on what the will says. What are the provisions for a case where a beneficiary predeceases?

I would have to read the will. If the will has "anti-lapse" language, such that the children of the deceased inherit the deceased person's share, then yes. If the gift is conditional upon the person surviving, or it's a class gift, then probably not.
