ADOPTED CHILDREN AS DESCENDANTS - WORDING IN A WILL
Is it necessary to specify that our son has an adopted child as a 'descendant' in our Wills? The wording in our Wills states: Should a child pre-decease me, the benefit that would have devolved upon such child shall devolve upon such child's descendants by representation." Will this include the adopted child or is he excluded as not a true descendant of our son?
Would really appreciate your advice on this. Thank you
