Q: my grandma's past she has 4kids no will I lived with her and still living there for 6years am I entitled to her estate
A: With no will, and if she was not married at her death, then her estate will be divided equally among her 4 children. If she owned her house, her 4 children will be 4 co-owners. You do not have any greater right to the house or to live in it, than any of her other children. Each of you will own a one-fourth interest in the home, and all 4 children could live in it, or the other 3 could charge rent to the person who is living in the house. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local probate attorney who can review her estate, answer your questions, and advise you of your options.
