Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York
Hello, my question is; my father died a year before his father (no will) who owned several acres of land I'm I entitled to share in any of his property?

Possibly.. In the typical intestacy (dying without a Will) the intestacy statutes states who inherits. Usually, if a child is entitled to a share, but predeceases the parent, the grandchildren (children of the deceased child) take over the share of their deceased parent. This presumes that the property is not owned/registered in other than the name of the person from whom you might inherit. Not having seen the Deed to the acreage, to be sure there were no co-owners, and, if so, how title is held between the co-owners, a complete answer cannot be given.
As a granddaughter, you may have inheritance rights.
