Hi there,

If your son's grandfather died intestate, and he is the only son of his father, he would be entitled to his father's share of the estate. If there is only one other surviving daughter of the grandfather, and no spouse, his share would be 50%. You need to contact a lawyer immediately to ensure the estate is properly probated, assets are found and recognized, and costs are minimized. Please call me to arrange an appointment

If you would like to discuss your matter further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me at your convenience.
