Question
A woman who is deceased leaves behind a son and a daughter. Two of her children had passed away whilst she was still alive. Do her grandchildren also inherit in the estate?
Answer
The deceased's grandchildren will not inherit in her estate in this case. Only her surviving son and daughter will inherit. If she is not survived by her husband or any other heirs, then her estate will be divided into three shares. The son receives two and the daughter one share.
