The order of inheritance

The order of inheritance of an estate where the deceased
has died intestate is as follows:

1. spouse;

2. children or if they are deceased, their issue;

3. parents;

4. brothers and sisters of the 'whole blood' or, if deceased,
their issue (such issue will divide their deceased parent's share between them);

5. brothers and sisters of the 'half blood'
(having one common parent with the deceased) or,
if deceased, their issue;

6. grandparents;

7. uncles and aunts of the 'whole blood' or, if deceased, their issue;

8. uncles and aunts of the 'half blood' or, if deceased, their issue;

9. and if there are none of the above, then the estate goes to the Crown.

If it is a long link then use tiny

You just copy and paste the long link, hit the tiny button and it gives you a tiny one in return.

So, Joy's link becomes

Quick answer is nephew.

After parents, it goes to sibling, ( brother /sister )if they are gone its their children ( neices/nephews)
