There must be at least one survivor in a degree of kinship to apply the phrase "by right of representation." In re Estate of Evans, 20 Neb. App. 602, 827 N.W.2d 314 (2013).
When an estate is divided "by representation" as provided for in this section into as many shares as there are surviving heirs in the nearest degree of kinship, the court looks first to the decedent's siblings, then to the decedent's siblings' children, and on down the generational line until reaching a generation containing surviving heirs. In re Estate of Evans, 20 Neb. App. 602, 827 N.W.2d 314 (2013).
