Re: Heir Property in Southhampton, VA

Your grandmother's property will pass by intestate succession, which is explained in the Virginia Code. If there is no surviving spouse, as a general rule, the entire estate goes to the children of the deceased. There may be distribution to the grandchildren if there are children who predeceased the intestate.
