Deceased left a house, no will, spouse had already died.
Had 4 children, now middle aged. Three still alive, one died.
Do you think the house sale proceeds should be split between the three surviving children, or should it be split into four with the remaining quarter going to grandchildren of the dead 'child'?
Legally, should be split in 3, I suppose...just wondered what you lot thought?
Split into four with the remaining quarter going to grandchildren of the dead 'child'
Sounds fairer.
The grandchildren should only get the money gradually from age of 25, 10% every year for 10 years ?
