For the first assignment, I'd like you to try your hand at an inheritance fact pattern. The first step is to draw a family tree; only then will it be possible to apply the various distribution rules.
Â
John has 3 children, Steve, Tina and Samantha. Steve and Tina predecease John.
Â
Steve leaves 4 children: Don, Donna, Doug and Derek.
Â
Tina leaves two children: Alicia and Allison.Â
Â
Samantha is still living, and has two children: Brittany and Bryan.Â
Â
All of John's grandchildren are alive at the time of his death.
Â
John dies with $200,000 in assets after all expenses are paid off. In his Will, John left all his money to his "issue."
Â
Please figure out and explain:
Â
a) how much money each beneficiary receives if the jurisdiction follows the rule that "issue" means "per stirpes"; and
Â
b) how much money each beneficiary receives if the jurisdiction follows the rule that "issue" means "per representation."
Â
Be sure to include the family tree, and explain how you arrived at the distributions.
