In genealogy and wills, issue refers to a person's lineal descendants.
Lineal Descendants
"Issue" typically means a person's lineal descendants—all genetic descendants of a person, regardless of degree.[1] Issue is a narrower category than heirs, which includes spouses, ancestors, and collaterals (siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles).[2] This meaning of issue arises most often in wills and trusts.[3]
