13.Subsection (3) makes a consequential amendment. At present, section 47(1) of the 1925 Act, which defines the statutory trusts for descendants on intestacy, provides that no grandchild or remoter descendant may inherit if his or her parent is still alive when the intestate dies. This is inconsistent with the new section 46A, which treats the offender as having died before the deceased. Subsection (4) therefore inserts the words "subject to section 46A" into section 47(1), to ensure consistency with the new rule.
