That depends on certain details. A well drafted will makes provisions for any devise made to a beneficiary who predeceased the testator. If the will does not contain alternative provisions then the gift lapses and becomes part of the residuary of the estate. The residuary estate is all the property that was not specifically devised in the will. A well drafted will contains a residuary clause that directs how the residuary estate will be distributed. If there is no residuary clause in the will then any leftover property will pass as intestate property according to state laws of intestacy.

Uncle whose wife passed away before him has 6 nieces and 3 nephews. Who is entitled to inherit his estate?

If your aunt who has passed away had made up a will which is a legal document of her wishes for the distribution of all of her real and personal property or estate before her death then all of her last wishes would be carried out as she stated and would be held up by the court of law. If she had not made a Will then 50% of her estate and personal property would be passed on to her husband if the two of them were legally married and the other percent of the estate would be passed down to her children. If none of her children are living then it would go between her sisters and brothers. If none are living then it would go to her nieces and nephew's. It depends on which state she resided in because every state is different.

Your nans will stated her house be divided between your mum and her 2 brothers your mum died who gets her share of house?

If your mother died after her mother did then her share would pass to her children. However, if your mother died prior to her mother then you need to review the language in the will to determine if her share passed to her children or her siblings. In either case your grandmother's estate must be probated in order for title to the real estate to pass to her beneficiaries. You could ask the attorney who is handling the estate your question.

I doubt the biological status of being a daughter of a beneficiary of my father's will. Can I contest her getting a share of his estate if it is proved she is not his daughter?

Probably not because he would have stated in his will that she was to be treated seperately. She was obviously a member of the family and your doubt seems more like a bit of opportunism.
