Boy was 17 when his dad was killed in a vehicular accident. The deceased had listed the boy's grandparents as beneficiaries.
Grandparents bought a home using the deceased's life insurance and workplace death benefit monies to buy the teen a house to live, with his mom (deceased's exwife).
Grandparents unexpectedly passed away, leaving no documents to show that the boy was the heir to his dad's finances (life insurance, workplace benefits, and settlements from 2 car insurance companies).
In the absence of such document showing the boy is the heir/beneficiary, an aunt claims she is the heir when the boy's grandparents died. Aunt forced the boy (and his mom) to leave the house. She took possession of the house.
Does this boy, now an adult, have a case to gain ownership of the house?
