Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! This episode of our "Listen and Learn" series focuses on the three main methods for distributing assets among heirs when someone dies intestate: per stirpes, modern per stirpes (or per capita by representation), and per capita by generation. We walk through each method with examples highlighting how shares are divided among descendants in different family scenarios.

In this episode, we discuss:
