I'm after some advice if possible please after the death of my grandfather a few weeks ago.
First some background,
He was my father's father
He lived alone in a house he had owned outright
He had 3 children
My father passed away 13 years ago.
My uncle has been sorting all his affairs out and has not mentioned anything about a will, my mother believes that if there is no will I should be entitled to my father's share of the house sale as I am his surviving heir ( not sure if that's the right term) and if there is a will and my father or myself are not mentioned in it I should contest it. I haven't got a clue how it works and to be honest the money would be a real help in my life but I don't want to fall out with family as I was close to my grandfather and this isn't what he would have wanted
