Re: Wills-surving children and named executor

The Alabama Code specifies how property shall be distributed when a beneficiary dies prior to the testator BUT in this case, the actual wording of the will is mighty important, so I advise you to take a copy of the will to a local attorney and let her/him give you solid advice. I am in Hoover for example.
