Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

My estranged grandfather died in Florida a few years ago where he lived with his second wife and two grown children. He was a extremely wealthy man, and I was wondering if my father and uncle (his first two sons) would have any right to a portion of his estate. I tried to contact them 15 years ago when he was still alive just out of curiosity and I got a nasty threatening call back from their attorney, which was so weird.
