The Per Stirpes Calculator™
Enter the total number of deceased heirs that have at least one living child, grandchild, or great-grandchild. After entering the total estate value that is to be divided among these deceased heirs, The Per Stirpes Calculator™ will begin asking for family information for each deceased heir, as well as the deceased issue of these heirs.
(Current file size limitations restrict the deceased values to five at the child and grandchild levels. The great-grandchild levels do not have any limitations. The number of living heirs at any level is also unlimited.)
When you have entered all relations, the right column shows the dollar amount given to each living grandchild and each living great-grandchild. The great-great-grandchild level shows the amount given to each living great-great-grandchild and to each deceased great-great-grandchild for distribution to that great-great-grandchild's issue.
Although a real-life distribution would rarely extend to a great-great-great-grandchild, if you are interested in seeing the division of a great-great-grandchild's share, simply copy the dollar amount that represents the great-great-grandchild's share (the number from the right column), reset the calculator, enter a '1' for the deceased heirs with living issue, and paste the great-great-grandchild's share as the total estate value to be divided.
Note: When entering the number of any class of deceased, only include those deceased who have at least one living child, grandchild, or great-grandchild.
