Per stirpes distribution means that each branch or line of the family will receive an equal share of the inheritance, and if a beneficiary predeceases the testator, their share will be given to their descendants. This is commonly used in estate planning to ensure that each branch of a family receives an equal share, regardless of whether a beneficiary is still alive at the time of the testator's death.
