Survivorship

[ntsivol]

What is the name of your state? Illinois

I am the executor of my late friends estate. There are 4 people named in the will - 3 in a different country.

If any 3 people are deceased or cannot be found, does the their portion of the will automatically go to the surviving people on the will, or does their portion go to their desendants?

Probably their descendants. Check you states general statute.
