[WSBAPT] Anti-lapse statute

[Mark Anderson]

I think the operative words of RCW 11.12.120 (2) are "unless otherwise provided."  I would be looking for specific language in the will that talks about, for example, right of representation for distributions per stirpes.  If the distribution is not "otherwise provided" in the will, then it seems to me that the anti-lapse statute would apply and the estate would be divided between the surviving children.

Where the will residue to surviving spouse, but if surviving spouse is deceased, then to children share and share alike and one of the children, predeceases the surviving spouse do the children of the deceased child receive their parent share by right of representation under the anti-lapse statute, or is the estate simply divided between the surviving children. your input would be appreciated.
