Common Examples: 100% to children or the children's surviving children
In the event any of their children do not survive them, the inheritance will be redistributed to the (dead) child's children. If the (dead) child has no surviving children, it will be redistributed to the other children (or their surviving children).
To achieve this, fill up the details and selections in “Update Profile” and “Appoint People” accordingly.
In the “Allocate Assets” page, you can leave all assets as “No specific allocation”, in which case they will be distributed based on the “Allocate Residual Assets” section.
Under "Allocate Residual Assets", allocate to the children accordingly.
In the “Select Clauses” page, leave the survivorship period as 30 days and select “Redistribute as Residual Assets”.
Under the “Other Instructions” section, key either of the following substitute beneficiary clauses (please edit the details accordingly) depending on whether there are more than one child to redistribute to:
If any of the following beneficiary(s):
- my {Relationship}, {Name 1}, {Identification Number/details};
- my {Relationship}, {Name 2}, {Identification Number/details};
- my {Relationship}, {Name 3}, {Identification Number/details};
- my {Relationship}, {Name 4}, {Identification Number/details};
dies before me, without leaving behind any surviving children at the point of my demise, the share of my estate which he/she would otherwise be entitled to receive under this Will shall be redistributed equally amongst the other remaining listed beneficiary(s) in this paragraph [i.e. {Name 1}; {Name 2}; {Name 3}; {Name 4}] who are either alive at the point of my demise or have died but have left behind surviving children at the point of my demise.
If any of the aforementioned beneficiary(s) [i.e. {Name 1}; {Name 2}; {Name 3}; {Name 4}] dies before me, leaving behind surviving children at the point of my demise, the share of my estate which he/she would otherwise be entitled to receive under this Will shall be redistributed EQUALLY amongst his/her surviving children.
