Legal heirs of an unmarried wowan

My unmarried sister expired in Oct. 23. My parents and another married sister are also not alive. Will the children of deceased married sister be considered as legal heirs of my unmarried sister?



Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies inheritance rights for an unmarried woman who has passed away. It addresses whether the children of her deceased married sister can be considered legal heirs. The consensus suggests that if direct heirs (Class I or Class II) exist, such as the sibling asking the question, then descendants of deceased legal heirs typically cannot inherit directly.

If there are no class I or class II legal heirs then the descendants of the deceased legal heirs can succeed

Many thanks for your reply. As I understand from your advise, since I am the legal heir of my unmarried sister, dcandents of my deceased married sister cannot succeed. Please confirm.
