Please seek legal help from an attorney in your area on this matter. Generally speaking, the Will would simply state that if a beneficiary pre deceases your parents then their share would be divided equally amongst the remaining beneficiaries. But all the wishes of your parents needs to be addressed and you need to have the process explained should say one of your parents dies and the other remains alive. Generally everything passes one to the other. Good luck.
