Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a per stirpes distribution, each branch of the family receives an equal share of the estate. Here, A and B each represent a branch and receive 1/3 each. C's branch, represented by D and E, also gets 1/3, which is then equally divided between D and E, giving them 1/6 each.
