14-2708. Class gifts to descendants, issue or
heirs of the body; form of distribution if none specified
If a class gift in favor of descendants, issue or heirs of the body does not specify
the manner in which the property is to be distributed among the family members who
comprise that class, the property that comprises the class gift is distributed among the
class members who are living when the interest is to take effect in possession or
enjoyment. These class members receive shares they would receive under the applicable
law of intestate succession if the designated ancestor had died intestate owning the
subject matter of the class gift.
