What is the opposite of per stirpes?
Per capita is generally held to be the opposite of per stirpes. Both are terms most commonly used in reference to the division of an estate. Per stirpes is more commonly used in estate planning since the share of a deceased beneficiary would pass to their issue, if any.
Per capita means "by the head count"; in a per capita distribution each living heir in the group receives an equal share in the estate. For example, if parent left an estate to three children per capita and each survived, each would receive one-third. If one of the three was deceased at the time of death of the testator the remaining two would each take one-half. In a per capita distribution a share isn't created for a deceased member.
Per stirpes means "by branch". In a per stirpesdistribution the three children above would each take one-third. Now suppose again that one had predeceased the testator. If that child had children, those children would take the deceased parent's one third share equally. In a per stirpes distribution a share is created for a deceased member if they have issue (children).
