A mother dies and leaves the two adult sons a beneficiary to the estate. The one son is deceased . Does the deceased son's wife get his half of the estate that was left to him?

Typically, whether the deceased son’s wife receives his half of the estate depends on the laws of intestate succession in the jurisdiction and the specifics of the mother's estate plan. If the mother had a will that specified the distribution of her estate and included provisions for her grandchildren or specified that a deceased beneficiary's share goes to their heirs, the wife may inherit. If there was no will and the estate is divided according to state law, the deceased son's share may pass to his children or, if he has none, to his spouse. It's advisable to consult with an estate attorney for precise guidance based on the situation.
