Legal Question

Estate distribution: Per Stirpes or By Representation?

There is some question about what "by representation" means in my mother-in-law's estate. There is agreement on "per stirpes". What is the difference, and is there a difference according to area of the country? (I'm in MD and her estate and residence is MI)
