Wife gets all. Daughter in law & grandson get nothing unless they hire a lawyer to challange, and that could cost a fortune and still gain them nothing.

In most any State, Real Property is Community property, owned by both the Husband and Wife ,regardless of whose name is on the Deed,in non Community law States, the wife has Dower rights in the property.
When a person dies without a will, its called Intestate, and the property must be distributed according to Probate- laws of that State- Not only is inheritance prescribed by law, Creditors will also be paid from the Estate. Not to mention the high priced appointed Probate Lawyer who presides over the distribution of assets. He hourly fee is also prescribed by Probate Law. Daughter in Law, has no Claim what so ever- her husband does and his children.

if uncle died without any will then the property will be in the authority of his wife and only her and she can sell the property and no need of the signature of the daughter in law. all the rights of the property will be given to the aunt and she is the new owner of it.

I don't know if all states do this, but in Ky, if no will is established, then it goes to probate court.............meaning if he even had a safety deposit box, then that automatically gets sealed by an official who reads about the death.....unless family got to it first.
If official gets to box, then all contents are taken and court to be decided upon..........Husband may have had a will in the box no one knew about......If not, then wife will eventually get the property and any monies usually go to wife(half) and half to children by blood.....Wife should still retain a lawyer just in case . Because once someone dies, and it is printed in the paper, anyone who was owed money by the deceased can make a claim or file against the will (estate) of the deceased ....In that case, any money coming to the family, then, if he still owed on a car, the company will still want the remaining dollars still owed and will file suit........Anyother company he owed money to have people who read death notices for a lliving so they can collect......

It largerly depends on where you live and the laws of that area, but in most cases when someone dies with no will, the property would pass to their spouse. His wife has the right to his property. As long as only his and his wifes name were on the deed to the property, she can do as she please with it and no other signatures are required. It is best to consult a lawyer in your area and get the RIGHT answers, that way your not wondering. Good Luck.

In Louisiana witch has strange laws, the Wife is in complete control of all property. She doesn't need any signature from anyone to sell anything.

If your aunt is not mental ill or mentally incapacitated she gets everything her husband left behind, if both, your aunt and uncle pass away, their sons and daughters are the beneficiaries, if there sons and daughters are gone too the next beneficiaries in the line of blood are your aunt and uncle's grandchildren, their daughter in law never will get something, except in the case she's the legal guardian of one or more of the grand children until 18 or 21 years old, depends of the state.

By law wife gets all and the rest nothing. Once she have her name in the property documents she can always sell the place without worries.

Depends on the kind of property you have...you need to consult a Lawyer for the same...Your aunt may need power/will on all the properties with the help of a lawyer so as she can make them theirs..might be it requires the signature of the daughters also....

Unless it's specified in a will, I believe in most states (if not all), the wife will be the one that inherits the property from your uncle.
I seriously doubt if the "daughter-in-law" or "grandson" would have anything to say about it.
You really need to check it out with an attorney.
