Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
will
My Grandfather passes away recently and his will has been probated. I received a copy of the will because I am named as a beneficiary. My Mother and her sister are named as the beneficiaries who inherit his residence located in Texas. My Mother passed away one month before my Grandfather. Will her portion go to me and my sisters with my Aunt getting half and my sisters and I splitting my Mom's half? Thank you very much.

Re: will
The will should have addressed where the property goes in the event that someone predeceases the testator. You need to look at the terms of the will to see where the property goes now. If it doesn't state specifically, then the property may go under a "residuary" clause of the will.
