My father has died he had 4 sons one son is deceased what share of of my fathers estate is the deceased sons children legally entitled to?

This cannot be answered without knowing the state involved or whether there is a will or not. Generally, in most states and in New Jersey, where there is no will, the children of a deceased child will inherit the share of the estate that the deceased child would have received and split it equally. This is called taking by representation. When there is a will, you first have to see if it says anything about that situation and if it does, the you follow the will. A will might say that if any child of mine predeceases me then I give that child's chare to my surviving children, or to charity or to whomever he wants. If the will makes no mention of that situation then the grandchildren take by representation just as if there were no will.

A mother dies and leaves the two adult sons a beneficiary to the estate. The one son is deceased . Does the deceased son's wife get his half of the estate that was left to him?

Typically, whether the deceased son’s wife receives his half of the estate depends on the laws of intestate succession in the jurisdiction and the specifics of the mother's estate plan. If the mother had a will that specified the distribution of her estate and included provisions for her grandchildren or specified that a deceased beneficiary's share goes to their heirs, the wife may inherit. If there was no will and the estate is divided according to state law, the deceased son's share may pass to his children or, if he has none, to his spouse. It's advisable to consult with an estate attorney for precise guidance based on the situation.

Your mother passed away and did not leave a will She left a house but one brother moved in There is another brother What do you do?

You need to probate your mother's estate for title to the real estate to pass to her heirs. Until the estate is probated there is no living legal owner of the property. It is owned by your mother's estate. After payment of her debts, her property will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy of your state. If your mother left two sons and no spouse, title to the property will pass to her sons who will share her property equally. At that time, the brother who is living in the house could buy his brother's share in the property. If one brother wants to sell and the other doesn't, the first could bring a Petition to Partition in the local court of equity. The court would arrange to sell the property and after all the legal costs and expenses are deducted the proceeds from the sale would be divided equally between the brothers.
