Hopefully the person deceased has left a Will with provisions for the children. If not, then the courts prefer the children to go to a relative in the family. If there are no relatives then the childen will become a ward of the courts. If there is a close friend that can prove they can finally support and raise these children in a loving environment and there is not contest from family of the deceased there is a big chance that friend can raise the children.

When someone dies without a will the state laws of intestacy provide for the distribution of their property. Generally, if your parent is deceased you would inherit your parent's share of your grandparent's estate. If your parent is not deceased then you have no right to a share of your grandparent's estate. If your grandparent left a will and the will is allowed you have no other right to their estate.
