Per stripes - the portion of your estate which would have gone to an heir if she or he had outlived the will maker. Instead that portion will go to
the heirs of that person. For example, if you leave half of your estate to someone (who has two children), but the person dies before you, then that person's children each receive one-quarter of the property (per stripe)


Per capita - portion of the estate that would have gone to an heir if she or he had outlived the will maker. Instead this portion will be divided with those heirs still living. In many cases, the phrase survivors of them is used in the same context. For example: if you state in your will that your Microsoft stock will be given to Child X but child X is no longer living, then the Microsoft stock will be divided equally among your living heirs.
