One son has died, the other 3 are fighting over the land. Case is held up in courts, purposely by one of the brothers.
Would the son of the surviving oldest brother have any rights to that land or the holdings of the deceased brother?
No will was found, but the deceased brother requested SSN to make his nephew his beneficiary.

Re: Inheritance
In order to even form an opinion concerning the rights of the surviving son of a deceased beneficiary of the trust created by the grandparent, an attorney would need to review the actual trust document at the very least. It might also be helpful to review the pleadings filed in the pending litigation to see what the competing claims are and the legal bases for their various positions. Depending upon various factors, the size of the trust estate being one of the most important, it may be worth it for you to hire an attorney to look into this and provide you with advice specific to your situation.
