[WSBAPT] beneficiary dies after incomplete distribution - intestate estate

[Josh Grant]

I am assisting a court pointed administrator of an estate
the final proceeds check was sent to one of two surviving daughters, who are the intestate heirs.
the estate was closed.

before cashing the $90,000 distribution check, one of the daughters passed away.

that deceased daughter left 2 daughter, who are adults.
we will re-open the estate
PR wants to cut a check one half to each granddaughter.
If the heirs are determined at the date of death, then that would work, and because the one deceased daughter had no other assets, her estate would qualify as a small estate and the granddaughters can give the PR a notice of claim of successor.
I just wanted to make sure that the other surviving daughter who survived the decedent, isn’t entitled to her sister’s one-half.
