</div>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060">I have reconsidered my position. Let me see if I have the scenario straight. Consider the following hypothetical:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060">Martha died and her Will left everything to Ross, her spouse. But Ross predeceased Martha. Next in line are their 3 children, Huey, Dewey, and Louise, who were to receive their distributions share and share
alike. But Louise also predeceased Martha. The basic question I think you're asking is this: do Louise’s issue receive any distribution from Martha's estate?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060">RCW 11.12.110 says:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#002060">Unless otherwise provided,
<b>when any property shall be given</b> or any appointee appointed <b>under a will</b>, or under a trust of which the decedent is a grantor and which by its terms becomes irrevocable upon or before the grantor's death,
<b>to any issue of a grandparent of the decedent and that issue dies before the decedent,</b> or dies before that issue's interest is no longer subject to a contingency,
<b>leaving descendants who survive the decedent, those descendants shall take that property
</b>or appointment<b> as the predeceased issue would have done if the predeceased issue had survived the decedent.</b>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><b><span style="color:#002060">If those descendants are</span></b><span style="color:#002060"> all in the same degree of kinship to the predeceased issue they shall take equally or, if<b> of unequal degree, then
those of more remote degree shall take by representation with respect to the predeceased issue</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060">In the above scenario, Martha is the "decedent" referred to in RCW 11.12.110. RCW 11.02.005 defines "Issue" as "</span>a<span style="color:#002060">ll the lineal descendants of an individual." So RCW 11.12.110
would apply to Martha's parents (as children of her grandparents), Martha's brothers and sisters, Martha's children, and so on down the line.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060">According to the first sentence of RCW 11.12.110, if Louise had survived Martha, Huey, Dewey, and Louise would each take one third. Applying the second sentence of RCW 11.12.110, though, Huey and Dewey each
take one third, and Louise's children, as descendants of a more remote degree, would receive Louise's share by representation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
