<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Jayne--I started to answer quickly, then discovered it's more difficult than I thought. I do think the exact language of the bequest is critical, because determination
of whether the gift is or is not a class gift resolves the question.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">If Jeb disclaims, he's considered to have predeceased the decedent, per
<a href="http://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=11.86&full=true#11.86.041" target="_blank">11.86.041(1)</a>. So your question is I think, what's the interpretation of the gift of the home between (a) class gift and (b) antilapse statute,
<a href="http://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=11.12.110" target="_blank">RCW 11.12.110</a>. But if uncle has no issue, then antilapse is irrelevant--it can only preserve uncle's share for his (non-existent) lineal descendants.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">So: Is this language a class gift, or no?
<u>See</u> <u>Peck v. Peck</u>, 76 Wash. 548, 552, 137 P. 137 (1913). I don't think it is, which means that Jeb's one-half share falls to the residue clause of the Will or, if none, passes by laws of intestacy.
