Inheritance where no children

[Darko]

Upon the death of my Grandparents in Croatia the property was divided amongst my father, his brother, and sister. My father and his sister signed the land over to the brother that lives there. The brother (my uncle) has no children. What will happen to the land when my uncle dies if no will exists. My fathers will left everything to me.

I am wondering whether the property will go entirely to my aunt (his sister)...or do I inherit half through my father. Both my father and aunt lived in Canada.

Do I need to send my fathers will to be recorded at the courts there?

Thanks,

Darko

Hi Darko
I've spoken to Ksenija about this.
Does your uncle have a wife? You said there were no children but not whether he is married. If there is a wife who has not predeceased him, she would inherit in the absence of any will. If he has a wife you should consider talking to him about making a suitable will.
Otherwise, if your uncle is not married and has no will, I understand that your aunt and you would inherit in the absence of a will.
