A quick definition of stirpital:

Stirpital: A word used to describe how things are divided among family members when someone dies. It means that each person gets a share based on how closely related they are to the person who died. For example, if a grandparent dies and leaves money to their children and grandchildren, the money would be divided among the children equally, and then each grandchild would get a share based on their parent's share. This is called a per stirpes distribution.

A more thorough explanation:

STIRPITAL

Stirpital means relating to per stirpes distribution. It is a way of dividing property among beneficiaries according to their deceased ancestor's share.

  • If a person dies and leaves behind three children, and one of them has already died, leaving behind two children, then the property will be divided stirpitaly. This means that the two children of the deceased child will receive their parent's share of the property.
  • Another example is if a person dies and leaves behind two children, and one of them has three children, while the other has none. In this case, the property will be divided stirpitaly, with the first child receiving half of the property, and the three grandchildren of the second child receiving the other half, divided equally among them.

These examples illustrate how stirpital distribution works. It ensures that the property is divided among the descendants of the deceased person, according to their share, even if some of them have already passed away.
