Essay

Tuttle died at age 96, leaving a will that she made at age 40 that provided that her three children would share her estate equally. At the time of her death, only one child, Anna, was living. Tuttle's two deceased children, Bill and Caroline, each had two children who were living at the time of Tuttle's death. Anna is claiming that she is entitled to the entire estate because the bequests to Bill and Caroline lapsed upon their deaths prior to Tuttle's death. How will the estate be settled?
