No. You have the right to dispose of your property as you wish by your last Will and Testament . If there are heirs you wish to exclude you should state that intention clearly in your will by declaring that it is your intention to make no provisions for the children of your deceased son and then name them.
If you die without a Will the state will distribute your estate for you. The share of any child who predeceased you will pass to their children. You should seek the advice of a probate attorney.

Does North Carolina law require you to bequeath grandchildren of a deceased child any portion of your estate?
There is no law that tells you who you have to leave your estate to. That is entirely up to you. If you do not have a will, the law will protect all of the descendants equally.
If a beneficiary passes before his deceased father will his wife and children receive his portion of fathers trust fund?
That all depends on the provisions of the trust. You need to review the trust document to determine if there is a contingent beneficiary named who will receive the deceased beneficiary's portion. You should ask the trustee if you can have the trust reviewed by your own attorney.

If you inherited land from your parents and it started out with 10 children but three have died do the children of the ones that died inherit the deceased brother or sister's portion of the land?
It will depend on how the land was divided in the original inheritence. If it was left to the ten children as tenants in common, each of them have equal rights in the property. On one of their deaths, their share in the property would go into their estate and then to their heirs. In this case, it would go to the children of the deceased. If they were joint tenants, the last of the ten children to survive would get full title to the property and the children of the original inheritor would get nothing.
