Who is entitled to what kind of Inheritance

[Jamesrt]

Hi, my question regards the estate of my mother who I found out yesterday much to my surprise that when she passes will do so intestate. I always thought she had made a will at the same time she set up power of attorney, and this is what my late brother who told me and believed who accompanied her when she was at the solicitor. Yesterday however when I contacted her solicitor I was told that they no longer handle wills as they inherited bad debt and had passed the wills they held to another solicitor who I called to ask if they could send a copy of the will as I could not find a copy, they informed me they have no will in my mothers name, shocker to say the least, not like my mother at all. The whole situation seems alien to me and not what I expected to hear. I may add I have been power of attorney for my mother for ten years without ever being notified by the solicitor who handled the initial power of attorney and only found this out when my late brother passed away and I found my name along with his on a power of attorney document I found at his house. My question is this, I had three brothers, two have passed away, two of us survive, out,of the two who passed away my eldest brother had three children and the other had no children. Would the children of the my oldest brother who passed away be entitled to inherit any part of the estate or would they be entitled to only inherit part of the house or just moveable assets. Thank you for any assistance in advance..

I had three brothers, two have passed away, two of us survive, out,of the two who passed away my eldest brother had three children and the other had no children.

You and your surviving brother will each get a third of the entire estate and your eldest brother's children will receive equal shares of his third of the entire estate.
