My grandma died before my father. Everything was left between my father and his brother.?

Question

Where do I stand. Have a legal right to my fathers half?

Many thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer.

Answer 1

You have not said whether your father is actually alive. If so and he was left half of whatever she had you have no legal right whatever. Anything that is left when he dies would come to you and any other siblings you have if he does not have a will. If he left a will then whatever he has put in the will is legally binding. However, what he received from your grandmother's will is his inheritance to do what he likes with - not yours.

Answer 2

If your father has died (which I assume, though you do not say so explicitly) and left no will, you would normally be entitled to half of HIS share. Your grandfather did not have to leave you anything though you may feel it unfair that he did not.
Had he left no will your father (assuming he is an only child) would have got it all. But as half WAS left to your brother, you haver no claim there unless he chooses to be generous.

Answer 3

It all depends on whether your father left it to you in his will (assuming your father is dead now). If he's alive then no, if you are not the only next of kin then no. Basically the only way is if your father has passed away leaving no will and you are the next of kin and the will is not contested by any other person with an interest in his estate xxx

Answer 4

No why should you have? Even if your father died before your grandmother everything goes to your uncle. Legacies can only go to living people, if one has died their share goes to the remaining living benefactors.

Answer 5

Of course you have the legal rights for your father half....go look for lawyer.. if his brother would not give you your half.. you part of blood family.(relationship) from one person to another....

Answer 6

if your father has a will and you are named in it then you would be entitled to whatever he has written..there is no law saying a parent has to leave anything to a child

Answer 7

you have no rights. It's now up to your dad what he does with his inheritance. Best to never make plans on Wills.

Answer 8

your nans sons should inherit - if your dad wants to share it's entirely up to him - it should never be taken for granted that anything will be left to us - it is up to us all to take care and be responsible for our own life

Answer 9

nope, unless you're named in the will, then you have no right for it

Answer 10

if your name is not on the will then it's your dads...but i am sure he will give you something out of it, if you behave yourself....
