Interesting matter,law.

Quote:
An example would be helpful. A man has three children A, B, and C, and at
the time of his death, only A and B are alive. Per stirpes division of the
property means that A receives one third, B receives one third, and the
final one third share is equally divided among C's children.
Per stirpes: What if A and B were childless and C had 19 healthy kids.

Quote:
A different way to divide an estate is per capita (by heads) where each
person receives equal share irrespective of how far down he or she lies
in the family tree.

Per capita:Would be good for you Hydra!
