BOOCHEVER, Justice.

Emil Peter Sorensen (hereinafter, the grandfather) died leaving a will which made no provision for four grandchildren who were alive at the time of the execution of the will. The guardian of the grandchildren filed a petition for a determination of heirship, claiming that the grandchildren were entitled to the shares of the estate which they would have received if their grandfather had died intestate.
