The answer

The grandfather's share remains in the estate of his son who died before him, and it does not lapse with his death before the distribution of the estate; for the criterion is the verification of the heir's life after the death of the legator. The grandfather's share from the estate of his deceased son is to be distributed among his living heirs, including the paternal uncles and paternal aunts, as they inherit from their father's estate, which includes his share from his son's estate. This type of inheritance is called munasakha (successive inheritance), and it is necessary to refer to the court or specialized bodies for its distribution.
