If a grandparent has applied for guardianship of minor grandchildren because parents are deceased, can the children state that they don't want to live with the grandparent even though that would be in the childrens best interest
If both parents are deceased, legal guardianship of minor children typically falls to the closest living relatives, such as grandparents, aunts, or uncles, unless a legal will specifies an alternative guardian. If no relatives are available or willing to take guardianship, the court may appoint a guardian, often from a pool of relatives or trusted family friends. Ultimately, the court's primary focus is on the best interests of the child.
It is certainly possible. Grandchildren can be entitled to a share of their grandparent's estate. Part of it will depend on how the will was written, or the laws for that jurisdiction. Consult a probate attorney for help!
Hopefully the person deceased has left a Will with provisions for the children. If not, then the courts prefer the children to go to a relative in the family. If there are no relatives then the childen will become a ward of the courts. If there is a close friend that can prove they can finally support and raise these children in a loving environment and there is not contest from family of the deceased there is a big chance that friend can raise the children.
When someone dies without a will the state laws of intestacy provide for the distribution of their property. Generally, if your parent is deceased you would inherit your parent's share of your grandparent's estate. If your parent is not deceased then you have no right to a share of your grandparent's estate. If your grandparent left a will and the will is allowed you have no other right to their estate.

No they can not.Another PerspectiveIt depends on the situation. If it is a "friendly" guardianship within a family when the child's parents have lost parental rights or are deceased, the family may give the child a choice and that person(s) will petition for guardianship through the family & probate court.
