Re: grandson and grandgauther custody from widow by grandmother and grandfather

last line of your question is creating confusion : any way the welfare of the minors are of paramount interest to be looked into by the courts.you have a reasonable case here but you have to move the court of appropriate jurisdiction. if the grand father wishes to gift any thing to his grand children he may do so without any legal or moral bar.Mind you that if you immediately move the court and are out there financially and morally taking care of the minors for all their needs and well fare and save them from being deprived you may be able to gain the custody when they come of age respectively.
