Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Minnesota
No will with deceased child
My grandmother passed away early this year. Then my mother passed away after her in the summer while receiving medical assistance. Now that my grandmother's estate is being settled, with no will, she had three kids, which is being divided up with two deceased (my mother and sister) and one living. My question is will the assets for my mother's share go to my mother's children automatically or to her estate, which will need to go into probate?

Re: No will with deceased child
Because your mother survived your grandmother, her share of her mother's estate became vested. As such, her share is payable to her estate and her estate therefore needs to be probated.
