My Father is named in grandfather's will but died before my grandfather

[legalquest]

Hello

My Grandfather had a will and specified that his estate should be divided equally by his 2 children. My aunt and my father.

Unfortunately, my father died 2 weeks before my grandfather did. So the question is, does my father's 50% of the estate pass to me (ie the grandson) or does 100% of the estate go to my aunt. I should mention that nobody else is named in the will and there is no provision described for the eventuality of one of his children dying before he does.

Thank you.

Your father's share passes to you unless the will prescribes otherwise.

Note this only applies in a parent child situation - with other beneficiaries the bequest would go into the residual estate.
