The german government confiscated property in the war years, Finally releasedthe proceeds were designated to kinship.intestate succession (i believe) The heirarch (family bloodline, son) has passed away and leaves a second wife (no blood relation (living in Montreal) and has a sister living in the USA, 3 grandchildren (all blood relatives) from first wife all living in USA, 2 are Canadian citizens 1 a U.S. citizen, still. Money was sent to 2nd wife with some money going to sister, (but only given up to her by 2nd wife) all grandchildren or blood relatives have received nothing.I thought that all money follows bloodline only and the fathers sisiter & grandchildren should be the only recipients. If so, what can be done?
Optional Information: Country relating to Question: Canada State (if USA): California Already Tried: ask for $, none given or split up amongst grandchildren kept by second wife or last spouse of deceased
Dear Customer,thank you for using Just Answer.In German Law the legal order of succession in your case is as follows:The wife inherits half and the children share the other half.Should children be deceased their children inherit.If there is a wife and grandchildren the sister does nor inherit anything by law.The children and grandchildren are considered heirs in the first degree, the parents and their children are considered heirs in the second degree.An heir in the first degree excludes an heir in the second degree.The wife is a legal heir as well and gets one half if there are children, three quarters if there are no children and just the parents as heirs.I hoe I was able to helpIf so please click accetThank youBestC.

to clarify:
The sisiter is the sister of the Son (daughter of heirarchy)
or grandchildrens Aunt,
She is blood as much as son
so: Property owner was grandfather
Son past away, sister/ dauter / Aunt received some money from 2nd wife
Grandchildren have received nothing
are they still entitled to receive $ or portion of
property owner at time of confescation (grandfather)
grandfather has two children son & Daughter
son has 2 wives, 2 children from first marriage, 1 child from 2nd
total 3 grandchildren,
estate settlement went to 2nd wife living in montreal
2nd wife gave some money daughter of grandfather
all grandchildren have received nothing
should they have any entitlement from estate of grandfather?
Dear Customer,if the son has passed away his children are next and inherit his share of the assets.As long as the children are still alive their children do not inherit.So the children of the son who has passed away are entitled to their share.The grandchildren whose parents are still alive do not inherit as theit parents inherit.The brothers and sisters do not inheritI hope I was able to helpplease click acceptthank you
