Art. 459

III. Grand­par­ent­al line

 

1 Where the de­ceased is sur­vived by neither is­sue nor heirs in the par­ent­al line, the es­tate passes to the line of the grand­par­ents.

2 Where the grand­par­ents of the pa­ternal and ma­ter­nal lines sur­vive the de­ceased, they in­her­it in equal parts on both sides.

3 A pre­de­ceased grand­par­ent is re­placed by his or her is­sue in all de­grees per stirpes.

4 If a grand­par­ent on the pa­ternal or ma­ter­nal side has pre­de­ceased without is­sue, that en­tire half of the es­tate is in­her­ited by the heirs on that side.

5 If there are no heirs in either the pa­ternal or the ma­ter­nal side, the en­tire es­tate passes to the heirs in the oth­er side.
