Q: What are my rights if I am a "issue" of a deceased parent
My grandmother passed in 2011, then my mother passed away 2013. My uncle is trustee of my grandmothers Will. My grandmother had a property and stated in her Will "Upon the sale and liquidation of the property, all net proceeds shall be paid to my children, and if any should not be alive then to the issue of said deceased children of mine"
The question is are my siblings and myself the "issue"? My uncle sold the property but we were not informed nor receive any part of the sale.
Thank you
A: Yes, you and your siblings (as well as your and your siblings' descendants, if any) are the "issue" of your mother.

A: Whatever your mother was entitled to upon the passing of her mother goes to you and your siblings equally.
