Hello!

I have a question that I have not been able to find an answer to by searching. Here is the situation.

My Grandmother passed away about 6 months ago, her will stated that her estate passed equally to her 4 children (including my father).

My father has just passed away, before any of my grandmother's estate has been settled. His will states that all of his assets should be divided equally between his 3 children.

My question is: does his share of my grandmother's estate qualify as an asset and would that pass on when it is settled?

The bulk of the estate is a property that has not been sold, and will likely be going on the market to be sold at some point this year. Thank you for your help.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

If your grandmother died first, then his share of her estate, becomes an asset of his estate.
