Hire a probate lawyer who practices in the county in which your grandfather died to probate (prove) his estate. Then hire a probate lawyer who practices in the county in which your mother died to probate her estate. When there is no Will, probate involves determining who are the heirs. You mother's siblings are, with her, heirs of your grandfather if your grandmother predeceased him. You and your siblings are heirs of your mother if her husband predeceased her.
