An Aunt has recently passed away and her will has been probated. In her will she directs that her estate be distributed to her brothers and sisters, which she specifically names. My mother, who is a named heir, has predeceased this Aunt. My question is this, as a surviving heir to my mother, am I eligible to receive part of the estate which would have been inherited by my mother if she were alive? There is no notation in the will which indicated "only surviving" relatives. There is no language such as per stirpes, as well.
