Virginia Beach VA Who gets money

You are going to want to reask this question in Virginia as the laws may differ from state to state. Sit down with a lawyer and a copy of the will, most will offer a free consultation. Best of Luck to you.

Generally, if a beneficiary is deceased, the bequest would pass to the inheritor(s) of the deceased beneficiary's estate. However, it is always a good idea to check with an attorney in the state where the deceased died.

I agree with the previous answers; most likely, unless the will had alternate beneficiaries who are still living, then the money would go to the next of kin, i.e. deceased son's children, if any; if he had no children, then to the siblings. Since there were 7 children, most likely each would receive 1/7th of the estate; the children of the 4 deceased brothers would share the 1/7th of their deceased father. The "final answer", though, needs to come from someone licensed in Virginia.
