I am sorry for your loss. The answer will depend on whether your grandfather had an estate plan (such as a will or living trust) in place before he passed on. If he did, his properties would be transferred according to his wishes. If he did not, then someone needs to start a probate case and the court will decide how his properties will be transferred. You should immediatley consult your own attorney to protect your legal rights.
