Re: estate

This depends on the order in which the deaths occurred.

If both parents predeceased the brother, his portion of their estates would pass to his wife and children.

If the brother died first, his portion of the parents' estates would go to his children only.

IN either case, consult an attorney.

Re: estate

Yes; the deceased brother's spouse and his children share what would have been his portion. Consult with a local lawyer for more information.
