[WSBAPT] Intestate Inheritance - Surviving Grandchildren

[Eric Nelsen]

Agreed, grandkids get everything under (2)(a). A sibling doesn't enter into it until (2)(c), when there is no living issue at all and no living parents.

Sincerely,

Eric

Listmates:

I think grandchildren take under RCW 11.04.015, but here are the facts.  X dies.  No Will.  His only child predeceased him but had two children who are still living (had not seen or contacted their grandfather in 25 years).  X's brother thinks he should get everything; I think the grandchildren are issue of the intestate under 015(2)(a) as some "degree of kinship" of the intestate.

Your thoughts.
