Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

Can a dedeased heir be removed from a will by another heir?????

My children's grandfather passed away last month, he was in the hospital for about a month before that,with no hope of getting well and comming home.There is 3 heirs on the will. 2 daughters and one son that passed away 2 years ago,and the son that passed away was my sons (aged 26&28)father .The 2 daughters have been trying to get the brothers name taken off the will since they found a copy of the will when the grandfather was in the hospital. Since the grandfather passed away, the aunts have been spending all the money that the grandfather had in the bank and they're telling my sons that,every thind should be ready in a few weeks. That they would get a letter from the probates office. I've told my sons they needed a lawyer,but they really cant afford one and besides they dont think that their aunts would really do them wrong, but I know for a fact that they're using the grandfathers money and they've been to 2 differnet lawyers& trying to cheat my kids out of their dads inheritance. What should I tell my sons to do?

Hire a lawyer and investigate the aunts' actions.
