Re: Grandmothers will
You are entitled to know about your grandmother's will. So ask your uncle if he intends to "probate" it and who will be the attorney for the estate. If he doesn't respond, then you are entitled to petition for probate yourself. It is typical, but not required, that the share of a predeceased person, such as your father, will pass to the predeceased children. This is what happens in the event there is no will, and it is the usual provision in most wills. But your grandmother could have decided differently. So, you need to see the will. Take the matter up with a local attorney. Good luck.
