[Texan]

When a child pre-deceases his parent, his share of the inheritance is usually split between his children.

That's how it was done in our family. But it's not a law or anything.

I didn’t mean to imply that it’s a law, just how it’s commonly done.

In some states, that may be how it’s done by law if the deceased had no will; but with a will, there’s no requirement to do it that way.
