Grandmother Died Testate Then Mother Died Intestate Before Estate was Out of Probate
My grandmother passed away after her husband, and left a will that her 4 children would be her heirs to split her estate equally between them with my oldest uncle as the Executor of the Estate, but my mother died intestate (without a will) before my grandmother's estate was through probate. Does my mother's share of my grandmother's inheritance go to me or her husband (my step-father?) This is in KY and my grandmother did have a clause in her will stating that should one of her children precede her in death, that child's share should go to that child's children, but my mother did not precede my grandmother in death. My mother's death only preceded the probate of the will, which actually means the same thing as far as my grandmother was concerned before she didn't want her money going out of her bloodline, but I don't think that will hold up in court.
