Best Answer

When a beneficiary dies before a testator there are two things that can happen--either the gift will lapse, meaning that it will not pass to them but will stay with the estate or the gift (in this case money) will go to the family of the now deceased beneficiary. Whether one happens over another will depend on the wording in the will and the nature of the gift
