Maybe, Maybe not. It depends on whether there was a Will or not and how any accounts belonging to your grandparent were set up. It also depends on whether there are other survivors and who they are in relation to you and your deceased father. You need to talk to the executor/administrator of the Estate or to a lawyer.

If you are an only child, yes, that is likely, but there are other factors that may impact that, such as the terms of the will.

It depends on the will, if there was one, and your relationship to the decease individual.
