<DIV><FONT size=4>I have an estate where decedent did not have a will.; no wife
and no kids and no parents surviving.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>He has one full brother and a half sister. The half
sister is a daughter of his mom but not his dad.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I assume both the full and half sibling inherit equally.
This is because under 11.04.015(2)(c) “if the intestate not be survived by
issue or by either parent, then those issue of the parent or parents who survive
the intestate” and both half and full sibblings are issue of the
parent.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>But I pause after I read 11.04.035, and it isn’t
something I have had experience with.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Is she as surviving half sister “kindred of the half blood”
who inherits; or is she excluded because the decedent brother is not “her
ancestor or kindred of her ancestor”? I would guess that a half sister is
“kindred” of both her parents and therefore is a “kindred of such ancestor’s
blood”? But it doesn’t really work between siblings like it would if the
inheritance came from a parent ancestor. ??</FONT></DIV>
