Section 45:
Where intestate’s father dead and his mother and children of any deceased brother or sister living.
If the intestate's father is dead, but the intestate's mother is living, and the brothers and sisters
are all dead, but all or any of them have left children who survived the intestate, the mother and the child
or children of each deceased brother or sister shall be entitled to the property in equal shares, such
children (if more than one) taking in equal shares only the shares which their respective parents would
have taken if living at the intestate's death.
Illustration
A, the intestate, leaves no brother or sister but leaves his mother and one child of a deceased sister, Mary, and two
children of a deceased brother, George. The mother takes one-third, the child of Mary takes one-third, and the
children of George divide the remaining one-third equally between them.
