Will question

[mjcfs1]

Hi

Am I right in thinking that the following statement in a will means that a beneficiares share that has passed away will be split between the reamining surviving beneficiaries? or does it purely relate to the intermediate income earned between the death of the beneficiary and the settlement? and the beneficiary will still receive there share as set out in the will (passed to her suviving sons).

Every person who would otherwise benefit under this my will but who fails to survive me for 30 days shall be treated for the purpose hereof and for the purposes of the devolution of my estate as having predeceased me and my estate and the intermediate income thereof shall devolve according ly to the intent that no person shall be entitled to any intermediate income from my estate or any part of it if he or she dies within that period or acquire therein or in any part thereof a vested interest (or a vested interest subject to defeasance) before the end of it.

Many thanks

The clause seems to be about who will not inherit rather than who will. You would need to examine the will in totality and determine what provision is made in the event that a beneficiary has predeceased.
