Why this matters in practice
For lawyers: each living member of the inheriting class takes an equal share of the estate portion available to that class. If some members of the class have predeceased and left descendants, those descendants take by representation under §1639 and inherit only the share the predeceased member would have received. For clients: if the deceased had three children all living, each takes one-third of the estate (after the surviving spouse's share under §1635).
Legislative history
Part of the original Civil and Commercial Code codification; no major subsequent amendment. Section 1633 establishes the per capita rule within each class, complementing §1629's exclusion rule between classes.
