Will Questions Answered - Inheritance Law Advice

Questioner

Will questions. My parents have a will for the survivor. We have two children, and as far as we know, we haven't been disinherited, so I think it should go like this: 1. The division will be divided by 3. 1/3 for me, 1/3 for my brother and 1/3 for the grandchildren. 2. The 1/3 share for the grandchildren is divided between 4 grandchildren, where I think 1 child gets more than the other(s). To ask: 1. Can one grandchild receive more than another? 2. Are you, as an heir, allowed to view the financial records from recent years? It's suspected that one grandchild receives a monthly deposit and isn't paying off his debt monthly. He has a debt related to the purchase of a home. 2. How does such a division work? 3. What if you disagree with the division? My parents added up all the gifts from the past 20 years and indicated that this constituted a debt and should be offset against the division. We now have a business debt, which is documented and signed by both parties, so it's 100% justified. 4. Suppose we prevent something by having an investigation carried out, does that hinder the final distribution, meaning that, for example, the grandchildren will also have to wait for their money? I would like to hear something

Your thoughts don't seem to be correct. The surviving parent will likely inherit one-third, and each of the two children will also receive one-third. Grandchildren won't inherit unless explicitly stated in the will (or their father/mother has already predeceased them). I advise you to consult an inheritance lawyer or a notary to explore the possibilities. The way you're presenting it now (with all sorts of what/if options), it could easily be a textbook with answers.
