Re: will
If he died after your mother did, then his portion goes into his probate estate. If he died before your mother, then it depends on the exact language of your mother's will; it may go to his children if he had any, and the distribution was 'per stirpes'. If not, then his death before you mother means his devise has lapsed and it would go to the rest of the living divisees.
