Carl dies without a will, survived by his granddaughter Dora and her brother Elton. The grandchildren are Carl's

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dora and Elton are Carl's lineal heirs, meaning they are related to him by direct descent (in this case, as his grandchildren). Collateral heirs would be other relatives who are not direct descendants, such as siblings or cousins. Decedents are individuals who have died. Trustees are individuals who are appointed to manage a trust.
