Re: house in will
It will depend on the language of the Will.
I suggest you take a copy of the Will to an attorney.

It depends on the terms of the will. Often the children of a parent take their parent's share.

Re: house in will
It really depends on a number of things, including:
1. When the four individuals came to own the home;
2. When the two people passed away;
3. What the will calls for in terms of distribution in this situation.
etc.
Bring the will to an estate planning attorney to review the language and determine the rights of the parties.
