KENTUCKY LAW
Winston left no spouse, parent, brother, sister,
nephew or niece, so his Estate is divided with half ($50,000) going to
his grandparents (or their descendants) on his mother’s side and the
other half ($50,000) going to his grandparents (or their descendants) on
his father’s side.
MOTHER’S RELATIVES
Winston’s maternal grandparents are deceased, so the $50,000 goes
to the descendants of his maternal grandparents. Aunt Susie is the
daughter of Winston’s maternal grandmother. She is a descendant
Winston’s grandparents and she gets the $50,000. Because Aunt Susie is
alive, her children inherit nothing.

Winston’s paternal aunt or uncle and a descendant of Winston’s
paternal grandparents. Because Elvis’ grandparents, and parents are
deceased, Elvis inherits the othe $50,000.
