Plain words

We'll explain it the way you'd say it.

Upon the death of the testator, the residue of the estate shall be divided among the testator's children then living, with the share of any predeceased child to pass to that child's issue per stirpes.

In plain words: If one of your children dies before you, their share goes to their children instead.
