A grandson has a right to live in your mother's intestate house depending on the the intestate succession laws of your state.
In most cases, a grandson would not have an automatic right to live in their grandmother's intestate house. The distribution of assets in intestacy is typically determined by the laws of the state, which usually prioritize the deceased person's close relatives in a specific order such as children or spouses. If the grandson is not a direct descendant, he may not have a legal entitlement to the house.
In India, as per the Hindu Succession Act, a grandson has rights to his grandmother's property only if his parent who is the deceased's child is also deceased. The property will be divided among all legal heirs as per the law, which may include the grandson depending on the circumstances. It is advisable to seek legal counsel to understand the specific details of the situation.
If your mother has a lifetime dowry in the house, you may not have the right to change the locks unless it's explicitly allowed in the terms of the dowry. It's best to review the legal documents and possibly consult with a lawyer to ensure you are acting within the terms of the dowry agreement.
No, you do not need to live in the house to have a lifetime estate, but you typically retain the right to live in the house if you choose to do so. A lifetime estate grants you the right to use and enjoy the property during your lifetime.

Laws regarding inheritance vary by jurisdiction, but generally, estranged children can still be entitled to claim a portion of their father's intestate estate if they are able to establish their legal right to inheritance. However, this may depend on factors such as the laws of the specific jurisdiction, any existing wills or legal documents, and the nature of the estrangement. It is advisable to seek legal counsel for guidance specific to the situation.
AnswerNo. Giving her grandson permission to live in her house gave him no right to ownership. Her will must be probated and the property will be distributed according to the terms of her will.
You don't. You can let your mother know that you don't want anything, but it isn't up to you. If she has a will, she can leave you anything she wants. If she dies intestate, property would flow to you under intestate rules. At that point, you have the right to decline any property that would otherwise go to you. You cannot do this before your mother dies.

In most cases the grandson will be able to inherit. They would normally receive their parent's share.
If mother was the sole owner of the property and was married at the time of her death, her spouse would inherit an interest in the property. Her children may also receive a share by law. The scheme for inheritance of intestate property varies from state to state. If mother died intestate (without a will) her estate must be probated in order for title to the real estate to pass to her heirs. You could check the laws of your state at the link in the related question below. If mother owned the property with her spouse as joint tenants with the right of survivorship or as tenants by the entirety then full ownership would automatically pass to her spouse. You can check her deed in the land records where she lived.
If your mother owns the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship with that other person then she cannot leave her interest in the property to you. If that tenancy was not specifically recited in the will when she received her inheritance then she inherited as a tenant in common and can leave her half interest in the property to you by will. If she dies intestate her interest will pass to her heirs at law according to your state laws.
Unless your father left a will, bequeathing the house to you on his death, the property is your mothers to do with as she pleases ! You, as a dependent of your mother, have no legal right to stop the sale.

my grandson is only 2yrs and is refusing to walk on his right leg he is limping and dragging his right foot he only complained about it yesterday today as i said he wont walk

The answer depends upon how your Dad and his siblings took title to the property: as tenants in common or as joint tenants with right of survivorship. As joint tenants with right of survivorship, his share would pass to the other siblings named in the deed. If they acquired as tenants in common, then his share would pass to his heirs at law according to the laws of his state. In that case your Mother would need to petition to be appointed administrator of his estate in order for title to pass legally to his heirs, his widow and children.
