7. No surviving spouse, no surviving descendants, no surviving parents, but
survived by descendants of (a) parent(s) s1(1)(e)(i)(cc):
Both parents leave descendants:
Example: David and his family are obliterated in a car crash. David is survived by
his blood brother, Falcon. David’s parents, had they been alive would have
inherited his whole estate in equal shares. The parent’s inheritance will devolve
upon their surviving descendants which is Falcon
One half of the intestate estate goes to the descendants who are related to the
deceased through his deceased mother whilst the other half of the estate goes to
descendants who are related to the deceased through the deceased father.
Half-brothers and sisters will therefore inherit from the half share of only one of the
parents.
8. No surviving spouse, no surviving descendants, no surviving parents, only one of
the deceased parents leaves descendants s1(1)(e)(ii).
The entire intestate estate will be divided amongst the descendants of the deceased
parent.
9. No surviving spouse, no surviving descendants, no surviving parents. And also no
descendant or a parent or (a) descendant(s) of a parent.
The blood relations who are related to the deceased in the nearest degree will inherit the
intestate estate in equal shares.
