Example 2:
Maureen dies testate and a widow in March 2008 and leaves the residue of her estate equally to her 3 children Noel, John and Mary.
Noel, who is living abroad, disclaims his one-third share of the residue under the will, which one-third share then passes by intestacy equally to the 3 children as to a one-ninth share each. If Noel also disclaims his one-ninth share of the residue passing under the partial intestacy, this one-ninth share then passes equally to John and Mary. John and Mary each end up inheriting a half-share of the estate from Maureen.
