Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Hampshire
Am i entitled or legally bound to my grandfathers estate?
My father passed away 9 months before my grandfather. We only have one
other living family member, my fathers brother. My grandfather never had a
will, but i believe that he had life insurance and he also had many assetts and
a home. My uncle and I have no relationship and he has not contacted me at
all regarding my grandfathers estate. I am the only heir to my father and the
only grandchild to my grandfather. He only had two sons and no other
immediate family members. Am i entitled to any of his estate on behalf of my
father or even just because i am his granddaughter? Also, since i am one of
his only two surviving heirs, am i legally bound to his propert, if something
ever happened to it? Thank you so much for your time, i'm just tired of
losing sleep over wondering too much about this and i'd like to put it behind
me and move on.

Re: Am i entitled or legally bound to my grandfathers estate?
If there is no will, you likely would be entitled to your father's share. You should search the probate records of the county where he passed away or get an attorney to do so. Why do you believe he had a life insurance policy? Did he have property?
