    There is an equal share to each child of the deceased. The children of any deceased child share equally in their parents share. the house now belongs to the president of the high court. you will have to take out a grant of administration to real with it.

    Thanks for the reply,

    How do we go about taking a "grant of administration" A member of the family has been appointed executor by the rest of the family in the presense of the solicitor who was dealing with the will when the mother was alive and he also has the deeds to the house from when she was alive, Now he never passed them onto the father when he went to see him after she had died, we thought he made a will then but he didnt

    An executor can only be appointed by a will. Until there is a grant of administration presumably to the person agreed by yourselves, that person has no legal standing. Look at courts.ie to see what is involved.
