Question

One of your clients at Birmingham Wills and Estates Law, PLLC passes away. Her estate is worth $56,000. She leaves half to charity, and 1⁄8 to each of her four children. How much will each child receive? ​ ​

Answer 1

Each child would get $875.
You would have to divide 56,000 by 2 since she gave away half, then multiply the answer by 1/8 because that’s how much she’s giving to each child. And finally divide that by the 4 children to get your answer.
