When my Grandfather passed away

he left a will and left his home to my

Aunt and my mother. Seeing that

my mother passed as well does her

Re: Estates and Wills

I am very sorry for your losses. Since your mom died before your grandfather the distribution would depend on what your grandfather's will says. Most likely you and your brothers/sisters would take your mom's share of grandfather's estate. However, without seeing the will it is impossible to say for sure. Please contact me if you would like to discuss your case in more details. -John

Re: Estates and Wills

Your mother's share could very well go to you and your siblings. You won't no for sure until you read the will. You could ask your aunt for a copy of the will or you could wait for notice of hearing from the probate court. If you're not mentioned in the will, however, you will not receive notice. The best thing you can do is carefully approach your aunt and request a copy of the will. If you'd like my assistance call.

Sincerely,

Phillip C. Lemmons

It would depend on whether your mother had any testamentary devices, like a will or trust. You may share the half equally, you may get nothing.
