Not only should you contest it but legally it should go to next of kin and that would be his children. My dad was not married when he passed away and everything he had was handed to me, nothing to my grandparents except what I gave them.

She’s wrong for that…definitely contest. The children should be put first. Parents build their lives for their children at the end not the other way around.

Almost positive you would have to sign it off to give it to her. My father, that I haven’t seen in over 20 years passed away in March, & they still called my sister and I about all of his things because he had no will. We had to write out a statement giving his mother ownership of his belongings.

Don’t know about us , but uk law is if divorced and have children then children get dad’s estate, if children underage then mum deals with it until children are of age , my exhusband died 3 years ago and I was told that but our son was of age so he and his sister did that
Contest. If she doesn’t want you to it’s because she has plans that do not include the children

My husband passed and his mother did afterwards and left my children nothing. My husband was always there for her and helped when she needed it. Her mind was not so good when she died. There were relatives who played on her and had her change her will. They got everything. I told my children who were adults to sue, they chose not to Now they are sorry they didn’t as they were her only living heirs. Your children are his heirs and you should pursue this.

Have a lawyer look into it but don’t get nasty about it. His mother is probably handling his affairs because you are not in the picture anymore. That doesn’t mean she is planning on leaving out his children. Somebody has to handle it and the kids are too young

I think I’d set up a meeting with her and with a lawyer. Your children were his children and if he was in their life, they deserve what their father left behind for them. It doesn’t make much sense for the grandmother to claim it all when there are children involved.

If he had a wife or girlfriend for longer than a year I hate to say that she will most likely have control over his estate, that’s what I was told I asked what will happen to my estate if I passed cause I ended up with fast eating breast cancer , they said if I had a common law or husband they will have full control even though I had it split evenly between my 2 children they said he could distribute the way I say or he could just have it, but if he was alone and he had it settled to how he wants it distributed fight it I believe it should stay there till the kids are of age . Sounds like the mother is just money hungry and not caring about her grandchildren. But fight it if he had no partner at the the if death if he was alone I believe it has to stay there till the children become of age one by one . . . Get your lawyer to help you that’s alot to let the old lady have when she is closer to death then her grandchildren .
Get a lawyer and see what rights you have.
Contest that shit! Asap, unapologetically, it’s not hers, it’s rightfully his childrens….all of it, his mom has lost her damn mind.

It belongs to the kids. Once a person has children, their parents have no right to the estate unless it’s willed. She is entitled to nothing. If she wants to be executor, she wants to get paid and take whatever she wants.

You need to weigh it up. If you fight it you could essentially loose a chunk of anything they may get in legal fees if it comes out of the estate. Ask his mother what the kids are looking to receive from the estate and go from there
