In per stirpes distribution, how is the inheritance calculated for grandchildren?

In per stirpes distribution, the inheritance for grandchildren is calculated based on their parent's share. This means that if a deceased individual had children, those children would inherit equal portions of the estate. If one of those children has passed away before the distribution of the estate, their share would not be lost but would be passed down to their children—the grandchildren of the deceased. Each grandchild would collectively receive the share that their deceased parent would have inherited, ensuring that the inheritance follows the family line rather than being distributed equally among all grandchildren directly.

This system is designed to preserve the generational intent of the deceased, providing support and maintaining the connection within the family lineage. Thus, each grandchild effectively steps into the shoes of their parent to inherit their designated portion of the estate, reflecting the per stirpes principle of inheritance.
