Ohio Code § 2105.13

§ 2105.13.

If some of the children of an intestate are living and others are dead, the estate

shall descend to the children who are living and to the lineal descendants of the

children who are dead, so that each child who is living will inherit the share to

which the child who is living would have been entitled if all the children of the

intestate were living, and the lineal descendants of the deceased child will inherit

equal parts of that portion of the estate to which the deceased child would be entitled

if the deceased child were living. This section shall apply in all cases in which the descendants of the intestate, not

more remote than lineal descendants of grandparents, entitled to share in the estate,

are of unequal degree of consanguinity to the intestate, so that those who are of

the nearest degree of consanguinity will take the share to which they would have been

entitled, had all the descendants in the same degree of consanguinity with them who

died leaving issue, been living.
