Question
Pennsylvania if someone dies without a will.
When someone in Pennsylvania dies without a will - they have no spouse, no parents, no children; they have 3 living sisters & one deceased brother. The deceased brother has 1 child. Is the estate divided equally only among the 3 sisters OR does the child of the deceased brother receive his portion - so that the estate is divided equally among 4 people ?
Thank you.

The deceased brother's child would inherit ¼ in your example. The heirs would have to agree on who the administrator would be as well.
