west virginia. My family has been on the same land for over 150 years. When my grandmother died, it was passed on to her children. My mother died before my grandmother. My aunts are *literally* crazy. One aunt had no children and the other had 2. If my mother had been alive when my grandmother died, all 3 would have gotten equal shares. It would have, eventually, pased to my cousins and my sister and I. I'm fairly sure both my aunts have wills but due to unfortunate family dynamics, I'm almost 100% sure that my sister and I are not included. When the time finally comes (could be many years even though they are in their 80's), do my sister and I have any way to get what our share would have been if my mother had lived? It is very likely that my cousins will sell, which is whan my sister and I *don't* want. We want to keep it in the family. Is there *anything* we will be able to do? Or do we just have to watch all that family history slip through our fingers?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
