Scenario:
Grandfather owns house at time of death. He is widowed, no siblings, with one son and one adult grandson. The son has been estranged from his father. The adult grandson has been living in this home with the grandfather for 10+ years.
The grandfather dies without a will. Who would legally be entitled to the home? Son or grandson? This is in the US.
Google search points towards son inheriting home, but I want to see if anybody has been through something like this or if I'm missing something.
Thanks in advance!
