Use: Enter the total number of deceased primary heirs that have at least one living child, grandchild, or great-grandchild, followed by the total estate value to be divided among these deceased heirs.  The Per Stirpes Calculator™ will begin asking for for each deceased heir's family information.

Result Amounts: When you have entered all relations, the right column shows the dollar amount given to each living grandchild and each living great-grandchild.  The great-great-grandchild level shows the amount given to each living great-great-grandchild and to each deceased great-great-grandchild for distribution to that great-great-grandchild's issue in a continued per stirpes distribution.

Although a real-life distribution would rarely extend to a great-great-great-grandchild, if you are interested in seeing the division of a great-great-grandchild's share, simply copy the dollar amount that represents the great-great-grandchild's share (the number from the right column), reset the calculator, enter a '1' for the deceased heirs with living issue, and paste the great-great-grandchild's share as the total estate value to be divided.

Note:  Any question asking for "Deceased children" only includes those deceased who have at least one living child, grandchild, or great-grandchild. Do not include any deceased child without at least one living child, grandchild, or great-child will not be included in the number you enter.
Current file size limitations restrict the deceased values to five at the child and grandchild levels.  The great-grandchild levels do not have any limitations.  The number of living heirs at any level is also unlimited.
