    The surviving siblings get 1/6th of the estate each, the children of the deceased siblings get 1/12th each. 
    KP see my 2 previous posts as youre giving incorrect adbvice buddy
    No it is not incorrect advice, yours is. See underlined below.

    From Gov.uk intestacy rules

    The estate is shared equally between the brothers or sisters (not including any step-brothers, step-sisters, half-brothers or half-sisters).

    If a brother or sister died before the deceased, their children (nieces and nephews of the deceased) will inherit in their place.

    If any of these nieces or nephews died before the deceased, their children will inherit in their place and they are entitled to apply for probate.

    If any brothers, sisters or their descendants died after the deceased, their share will become part of their own estate.
