What if a Will Does Not Properly Specify the Disposition of Class Gifts?
If a class gift in favor of “descendants,” or “issue,” does not specify the manner in which the property is to be distributed among such class members, the gift will be distributed among the class members who are living upon the death of a Will maker in such shares as they would receive under Minnesotas law of intestate succession – as if the designated ancestor had then died intestate owning the property to be transferred to the class.
