Question Is my father sole beneficiary of estate now or is he entitled to one sixth?
My grandfather left no will when he died years ago. He had six children. Of those children, only my father is now still alive. Is my father the sole beneficiary or is it divided amongst the children of the original 5 children and my father?
Also, my father has not paid any taxes etc. on the land and house. An unmarried sister lived in the house in Italy for over 40 years. The house is on a title called "agricultural dwelling"
Thank you for your help in advance.
