well how is your cousins family, his wife, his kids, his parents, his brothers and sisters, did your grandfather have a will ?
There would be alot of people in line for the money before you, if they are living.

Hello i:

Is your grandfather THE cousin to whom the assets were distributed???? It sounds like they went to another cousin... I can't tell.

If they went to YOUR grandfather, then you'd be in line for some inheritance. Course, there might be other people in line ahead of you.

If they went to ANOTHER cousin, then your grandfather evidently had no claim on them (because he didn't MAKE a claim and or otherwise didn't secure them for himself and his heirs), then you're still in line to inherit, but the assets you're speaking about aren't in there.

Inheritance law

The decedent died 10/12/2004/. The decedent was not survived by spouse, issue, parents, brothers or sisters or their issue, or grandparents, exept cousin (1) he's alive.
The decedent had cousin (2) who died 02/05/2004/. Cousin (2) 's daughter died 03/10/2002. May son of Cousin (2) 's daughter to take or share in the property of decedent?
If YES , He has same (equal) right, or any? No Will. New york

Was not an estate from 2004 already closed though probate. Also how names are listed on a will if any will make a large difference and the state if you are in the US differes from state to state.

Will? No Will? Homework? What State?

You have posted variations of this question in various forms on 3 occasions. Continuing to post is not going to change the answers.
