per stirpes
Per class, particularly distribution by the class. 23 Am J2d Deeds § 200. Taking together the share that a parent would have taken. Anno: 126 ALR 159; 57 Am J1st Wills § 1291. By representation; taking a share which a deceased ancestor would have taken had he survived the intestate. 23 Am J2d Desc & D § 65. Sometimes a per stirpes distribution has been defined in such a manner as to include, in the definition, the proposition that the number of stocks or roots, into which an estate is originally to be divided is to be determined by reference to the oldest generation which is represented by a living member. Thus, it has been said that in a stirpital distribution the number of stocks in the distribution is determined by the number of the nearest class of blood relatives who survived the decedent and the number of such class who have died leaving issue surviving the decedent. Re McKeon's Estate, 25 Misc 2d 850, 199 NYS2d 158. Taking per stirpes or per capita under will. Anno: 13 ALR2d 1023.
