Q: my uncle died with a predeceased sister and two alive brothers. Are the children of my predeceased aunt heirs as well
my uncle died without a will leaving only two alive brothers. One brother renunciated to the other and I (niece) have been handling the Estate. Are the children of my predeceased aunt entitled to per stirpes? If so, are they supposed to renunciate as well making my alive uncle the administrator. Also the two brothers have agreed to paying me 15% of the Estate as my fee for taking care of everything. Do the children of my predeceased aunt have to agree to this as well?
A: We are not supposed to give you specific answers to legal questions site only general answers. I would suggest to get specific answers on what to do, that you setup a consultation with a local lawyer. It may cost a few hundred for the advise, but its better than getting sued later on for doing the wrong thing.
