What does it mean when an heir of an estate needs to meet a 120 day survival requirement?

My relative passed away before completing his mother's estate. He survived her by only 128 days. He had no direct heirs and no will. Family members are now fighting over how this proceeds. If he had not survived the 120 days what happens.

If he has not survived the 120 days, he would get nothing and the alternate beneficiaries in her will would have gotten the money. For example, I die and my husband has to survive me by 30 days to get everything. If not, my sister gets all MY money and his kids get HIS share. If he dies after 30 days, his children will get all OUR money.

Someone needs to get an attorney and have everything sorted out. They may also want to give the attorney a copy of his mother's will.
