My great aunt (GA) died in September, my grandfather(GF), her brother, died at the end of October.
Although we don't know the details of GA's will we think it's very probable that as GF was her closest living relative she has left all or part of her estate to him. My GF in turn has left the bulk of his estate to myself and my mother, this isn't speculation as we know the details of his will.
We are actually hoping that GA hasn't left GF her major assets, which are a successful ongoing but very niche business, her home, the outbuildings which contain her business, and the couple of acres of land all this is cited on. Neither or us want to be responsible for the business or for trying to wind it up and sell the land.
Will probate on my GA's will hold up probate on my GF's will, or would GA's will be treated as a separate matter?

If a person is due to inherit, but dies before probate is completed, what happens?
