I am not sure of the current laws, but when my grandfather died in 1968
or thereabouts, he did not have a will, so everything went to my mother
and her two sisters. They did the right thing and signed it back over
to my grandmother. Apparently there was an agreement of some type that
when my grandmother died it would go back to the three sisters equally.
Unfortunately, my mother's older sister was a bit of a sleaze and
tried to get the whole thing. One sister had died and my grandmother
changed her will to include my mother and, for some reason, the wicked
aunt's son for a three way split. My late aunt's family were screwed
out of things completely.
