Inheritance Rights After Death

I'm sorry for your loss. In Indiana:
- If your grandfather left a will, it usually specifies who inherits his property.
- If he didn't, Indiana's intestate succession laws apply. As a grandchild, you may not be a direct inheritor unless no children or spouses are alive.
- Living in the house doesn't confer ownership rights.
Consult a local probate attorney for guidance.

In Indiana, probate laws state:

- If there's no will, children are first in line to inherit.
- Each child would receive an equal share.
