A joint bank account or more likely a portion of such might become part of the deceased estate depending upon how the account is held. Most accounts held jointly by family members are done so under the law of rights of survivorship and therefore revert to the living account holder(s) upon the death of the another.

In any case, just being a joint account holder does not make the person responsible for the repayment of debt incurred by the deceased.

Who receives your deceased father's share of your deceased grandmother's estate when he and his two siblings were left her house in the state of Pennsylvania?

It really depends upon the contents of a will and how the property is titled under the wording of the deed. Generally property held jointly passes directly to the other owners and is not subject to probate action. In a case such as noted, the deceased share of the property will likely be passed automatically to the surviving owners under the state's Joint Tenants With Right of Survivorship (JTWRS) laws.

Your father died in 1953 his mother died your grandmother leaving her home to her heirs Would you be considered to be her heir on your fathers share of her home?

If your grandmother died and devised her home to her heirs then you may be entitled to inherit your father's share, whatever that may be, according to the intestate succession laws in your grandmother's state. If he had a spouse she may also receive a portion. If he had no spouse his children would share equally. However, the wording of your grandmother's will may direct who will inherit the share of a deceased child. Property may be devised to a person's children with the share of any deceased child to pass to his own sisters and brothers. Or, property may be devised to a person's children with the share of any deceased child to go to the deceased child's children (grandchildren). You need to check the wording of the will and you may need to check the laws in the state where your grandmother's will is probated.
