Understanding wording in a will

@Keep_pedalling please don't moralise.

@Jackie8761 can do as they wish and needs to get the will corrected if they do not change their mind.

PS. @Keep_pedalling, there is only one O in lose.

I was not moralising just putting an alternative POV, and I agree if that is what she really wants then she needs to make sure her solicitor knows exactly what she wants to happen with those what if situations.

Thanks for policing my typo 🤪

The default is covered by section 33 of the wills act.
(Look it up)

Any deviation from that needs to be in the will.

Let’s reword it with actual names for clarity. Let’s assume SUE has the children, ANN does not.
If my said daughter SUE DIES BEFORE ME then the interest in my estate which SUE would have inherited had SHE survived me shall be distributed to HER children in equal shares absolutely WHEN I DIE but if my said daughter ANN shall DIE BEFORE me without any CHILDREN then the interest in my estate which they would have inherited had they survived me shall be distributed to my surviving daughter SUE absolutely WHEN I DIE.

So, 
Sue dies, you die - Sue’s children get half your estate when you die, Ann gets the other half. 
Ann dies, you die - Sue gets all your estate, Sue’s children get nothing.
Both die before you and you’ve not changed your will, the will fails and the rules of intestacy apply.
