Re: Deceased beneficary
Very often a will contains provisions that on the death of a beneficiary, that share of the estate will pass to the deceased beneficiaries children. However if this provision is not contained the gift to a deceased beneficiary will lapse that share of the estate will fall into residue for division by the residuary beneficiaries.
If we can help further, please let us know.
