Q: Will states my estate goes to children who survived me.do that disinherit the predeceased child, which is my grandmother
In Massachusetts
A:
If the will says children who survive me then yes, it 'disinherits' someone who died first. HOWEVER, how can your grandMOTHER be your child? I think you're confusing things and it may benefit you to consult with an attorney rather than just trying to figure this out on your own!

A: Based on this very limited information you have given it appears to be the case that your grandmother's children are excluded, but it is important to note that there could also be other provisions of the Will or other gift failures and potentially no residuary clause exists making an intestate distribution is possible. You really should have an attorney review same.
