That all depends on the provisions of the trust. You need to review the trust document to determine if there is a contingent beneficiary named who will receive the deceased beneficiary's portion. You should ask the trustee if you can have the trust reviewed by your own attorney.

If a beneficiary to an estate becomes deceased and that beneficiary had a distribution in that year would the heirs of the now deceased beneficiary receive a K-1 and be taxed on that distribution?
If the distribution to the beneficiary was mandatory, and the trust agreement does not provide for alternative disposition on the beneficiary's death, and/or the trust agreement provides that the distribution is mandatory and not discretionary, then the distribution should be payable to the deceased beneficiary's estate, which could get the K-1 as to any portion of the distribution that constitutes income rather than principal. The distribution to the deceased beneficiary's estate could flow through to the heirs of the deceased beneficiary's estate.

Your father died in 1953 his mother died your grandmother leaving her home to her heirs Would you be considered to be her heir on your fathers share of her home?
If your grandmother died and devised her home to her heirs then you may be entitled to inherit your father's share, whatever that may be, according to the intestate succession laws in your grandmother's state. If he had a spouse she may also receive a portion. If he had no spouse his children would share equally. However, the wording of your grandmother's will may direct who will inherit the share of a deceased child. Property may be devised to a person's children with the share of any deceased child to pass to his own sisters and brothers. Or, property may be devised to a person's children with the share of any deceased child to go to the deceased child's children (grandchildren). You need to check the wording of the will and you may need to check the laws in the state where your grandmother's will is probated.
Can a heir reject life insurance My brother had life insurance no beneficiary. Parent will be getting 50 percent each if one parent rejects there end will the other parent receive the full amount?
NO. Your question is a bit confusing. First you state their is no beneficiary but then indicate the parents may be the beneficiary. Normally life insurance proceeds do not go through an heirs probate process. Life insurance goes directly to the designated beneficiary outside of any probate process unless no one has been designated or the designated beneficiaries are themselves deceased. If there is no designated beneficiary at all, the life insurance will default to the estate of the deceased for probate and apportionment to the heirs. If there are 2 equal 50 percent designated beneficiaries and one rejects their 50 percent portion, that 50 percent will be assigned to the estate of the deceased for probate and then be apportioned to the heirs of the deceased. An heir can assign his or her inheritance to another heir if they so choose. If the heirs reject the proceeds of the life insurance disbursed by the estate and then also decline to assign it to another heir, then those proceeds will default to the government.
