If my grandmother dies with no will and she is a widow how will the money left be given out?

The thing is my grandmother has no will and her husband died years ago and she has 2 sons. 1 of them died and the other one is living. If she died how would the probate court handle her money? The son that died had 2 children. Would the probate court give the one living son 50% and the 2 heirs 25%, 25%? How does that work since the son had 2 heirs?

I would quit worrying about that and get her the resources to make a will.

Each state is different. In most states, if one son died while she was living, the surviving son would get it all. If he died after grandmother died, then the money would go to his estate and from there is would depend on whether he had a will.

That would be up to the courts, and if there was property involved, it could take up to 3 years.
Have her get a will made out.

Does she have any sistwers, brothers, counsins??? Every one of them could step foreward and make out a claim.
Without a will, you are talking about a complete f$$%%g distaster.

It depends on which state she lives in; they differ.
