I am more curious about this situation than intending to act on it!
My great grandmother died without a will (about 50 years ago I think). She had a small farm and a house. She had 10 children, and one of them is still alive, my 94 years but senile grandaunt.
One of her children (my Granduncle) continued to live on the holding and he had 3 children, one of whom (my mothers first cousin) purchased a house adjacent to the original holding and still lives there, and had 7 children. Some of these children (who would share the same great grandmother as me) have now built holiday homes on the original holding.
Is my 94 grandaunt entitled to claim ownership of the original house and holding?
I estimate my greatgrandmother has about 100 living decendents, between child grandchildren and greatgrandchildren and greatgreat gandchildren!!
