If an heir predeceases the testator, their share of the inheritance typically does not go to the heir's descendants unless the will explicitly states otherwise or the jurisdiction's laws provide for it. In many cases, the deceased heir's share would either be distributed among the surviving heirs or be handled according to the laws of intestacy if the will does not address the situation. It's essential to review the specific terms of the will and applicable state laws to determine the outcome.
