    Question Division of Inheritance Among Grand Children

    My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: New York

    Grandfather died without a will. All the parents have passed away and only the grand children are left. The four deceased parents had one, two, three and five children respectively. How will the inheritance be divided? Will it be divided into eleven (total number of grand children) equal parts? Or will it be divided first into four equal parts for each of the parents, and each part is then further subdivided equally among the grand children belonging to each respective branch?

    New York intestate succession is by representation. That means each of the grandchildren splits the share their predeceased parent would have gotten. So your latter scenario describes what will happen.
