I took her comments to mean that the maternal g-father had died intestate, and the land had gone to GSom, who then also died intestate and had NO family member closer than a son of his aunt, a daughter of grandson's G'Mother.
Am I in error, Nel? ???

Paul, You said the grandson's father would inherit but in Nel's post she said MATERNAL grandfather. Therefore, wouldn't the grandson's mother inherit?? Maternal being mother and all? Janet

Hi, Nel. Once the land vested in the grandson, it became a part of his estate alone.
At his death intestate, since primogeniture yet was in force and effect and he had no issue, that estate passed under the ancient rules of descent and distribution, hence it ascended to that grandson's father (his mother could not inherit under the facts that you have stated).

You have a maternal grandfather who has no sons who leaves 100A to his
grandson. This grandson dies intestate 10+ years later leaving no wife or
kids. His parents and a known brother (who had rec'd 50A from this same
grandfather) are known to be living.
Who inherits this 100A?
And why?
Thanks a bunch!
Nel
