Representation is accomplished as follows:\n      (1) If a distributive share of a wholly or partially intestate estate passes by representation to a person’s descendants, the share is divided into as many equal shares as there are:\n      (a) Surviving descendants in the generation nearest to the person that contains one or more surviving descendants; and\n      (b) Deceased descendants, in the generation nearest to the person that contains one or more surviving descendants, who left surviving descendants, if any.\n      (2) Each share created for a surviving descendant in the nearest generation is distributed to that descendant. Each share created for a deceased descendant is distributed to the descendants of the deceased descendant by representation as described in this section.","path":["03 - Landlord-Tenant, Domestic Relations, Probate","12.
