What are a granddaughter’s inheritance rights?
My grandfather passed away with a Will naming, I am told, only his 3 adult children as his heirs. However, my father is one of those heirs named also passed away. What are my rights to my
grandfather’s properties. Legally, by default, am I entitled to my father’s share and thereby become an owner of the properties.

I am so sorry for your loss. The wishes of your Grandfather are conveyed in his Last Will and Testament and that will govern distribution of his estate. His Will should say whether or not you will inherit in place of your Father. If thre were no Will then you would inherit his share. Talke a copy of the Will to an attorney to review. Good luck.
