The three systems, in one sentence each
Strict per stirpes — Florida’s default (§732.104): the division always begins at the children’s generation, one share per surviving branch; a deceased child’s share splits among that child’s own descendants.
Per capita with representation — divide at the nearest generation with a living member; below that, the branch math is identical.
The 1990 UPC rule (per capita at each generation) — divide at the nearest generation with survivors; the deceased members’ shares pool and split equally among the next generation’s takers, so equally-near relatives take equally.
The same family tree can come out differently under different governing words — which is why the instrument controls, and why antilapse (§736.1106 for trusts; §732.603 for wills) can also preserve a lapsed gift for a predeceased beneficiary’s descendants in defined circumstances.
Try the arithmetic yourself
Model a family shape — who is living, who left children — and see each system’s exact split. Two generations (children and grandchildren); this is the math of each rule, not a suggestion of which to use.
Child 1
Child 2
- Grandchild 2.1
Child 3
- Grandchild 3.1
- Grandchild 3.2
| Person | Strict per stirpes (FL default) | Per capita w/ representation | UPC per capita at each generation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Child 1 | 1/3 (33.3%) | 1/3 (33.3%) | 1/3 (33.3%) |
| Grandchild 2.1 | 1/3 (33.3%) | 1/3 (33.3%) | 2/9 (22.2%) |
| Grandchild 3.1 | 1/6 (16.7%) | 1/6 (16.7%) | 2/9 (22.2%) |
| Grandchild 3.2 | 1/6 (16.7%) | 1/6 (16.7%) | 2/9 (22.2%) |
Arithmetic only — the exact fractions each rule produces for the shape you modeled, with Florida’s default labeled as what §732.104 provides (and §736.1106 echoes for trusts). Not advice, and never a statement of which rule YOUR trust uses — the instrument’s own words decide that, and reading them is licensed-attorney work.
