It is the personal representative's duty to gather the assets, pay the debts and distribute what is left according to the Will or, if there is no Will, the state's laws of heirship. That you are a 1/4 beneficiary or heir entitles you to 1/4 of what is left, not to occupying your grandmother's home. This is true regardless of whether it was your primary residence.
