More details to this question:
My Brother passed away in February. He had a girlfriend and a daughter. We lost touch with him for sometime. My parents got notification of his passing via police they are next to kin. He lived in Virginia with his girlfriend and daughter and her two daughters. I wanted to know if I had any rights to see or visit my niece. His girlfriend won't let us or keep in touch. She moved on already and has someone else being the dad. That is hurtful. What rights do I have.

This is a Virginia law question.
In Pennsylvania, an aunt/uncle has no visitation or custodial rights unless that person served as a parent to the child. Grandparents, on the other hand, may pursue visitation and/or custody.
