VerifiedThank you for your question. My goal is to provide you with the best possible answer.
To achieve that goal it may be that I will find that I need to gather further information from you. As well, it's quite possible that you may feel the need to ask me additional questions for further clarification.
But, please understand that as a careful lawyer I will always give you an honest answer even if the answer is sometimes not what you were hoping for.
Please confirm the following:
There is no spouse.
There are no children or grandchildren.
Parents have died.
No siblings.
Grandparents have died.
And this uncle is the child of one of the grandparents and there are no other living children of the grandparents.
Is that correct?

And this uncle is the child of one of the grandparents and there are no other living children of the grandparents.
Is that correct?
The uncle does not inherit the full estate.
All the living children of the grandparents share in the estate. In other words, all uncles and aunts are treated the same. It doesn't matter that the uncle is the oldest.
