More details to this question:
My great uncle died and my uncle was in his will. My uncle died last year and I was wondering what should happen to what he was left as he had no children. Does his share go to the 8 others in the will or does it go to his only living sister?

My condolences on the deaths of your Great Uncle and Uncle. Was your Uncle living at the time of your great uncle's death? Look at the Will itself - there usually is a clause concerning survivorship and also a residuary clause for what happens with bequests that fail for some reason (i.e. as in your case - the beneficiary is deceased). Obtain counsel from a lawyer in your area who is knowledgeable regarding wills so you can determine what your path should be.
