Re: Intestacy statute interpretation

I was going to post, but Maureen beat me to it. I represented the other
party referred to in her post. I agree with Eric's analysis and with
Kirby that children of deceased first cousins do not inherit when there
are first cousins living.

I had a similar case here in Allegheny County which addressed this exact
issue. I am attaching the Argument section of the brief I filed. After
the
filing of this brief, the opposing parties withdrew their Petition, so I
am
assuming that my analysis was correct. In addition, another party filed
a
brief arguing the same points.

Hope it's of some help to you.
