Use of the words like 'intestacy' and 'decedents' must be done with care and knowledge. A little knowledge of the law or legal terms is the surest way to get into trouble ever devised by the mind of man.
Consult an attorney. There are few states that pass a law stating that a "niece" of a decedent's "paternal grandfather" has any special rights. If the law mentions any relatives, they are typically mentioning the spouse and children. From there, possibly the immediate family - of which "grandfather's neice" is not amongst them.
An attorney in your area can give you more specific advice, but if you aren't named in that will, your "rights" are non-existent.
