Grandchildren inheriting
Question
My mother passed away during my maternal grandmother's lifetime. My grandmother passed away 1 year ago. She is survived by 2 sons and 1 daughter. She owned some agricultural land (my maternal grandfather bought it during his lifetime and did not leave any will). Do we, as her grandchildren, get any share in property?
Answer
In the presence of the children (the two sons and one daughter) the grandchildren will not receive from the inheritance.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
