By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

If there is no will, your state's intestacy laws will apply. I think your stepfather will probably be out in the cold, but if he argues the dispute could easily swallow up a small estate so if you're on speaking terms with him, discourage him. I don't at all have any confidence in this either, but I'd have thought that you as her child might have a better claim on her theoretical share of her mother's estate than he does.
What's this about the house? Are you the caregiver grandson, living in your late grandmother's house and hoping to stay there? Unless your uncle/aunt(s) agree I'm afraid you won't have a leg to stand on.
Does it leave you in difficulties? When did you move in to your grandmother's house?
If I understand correctly, nomination papers are beneficiary designations.
In general, real estate transfers must be in writing. I believe the claim order would be:
1) transfer on death beneficiary
2) heirs as specified in will
3) interstate succession law of given state: mine is: spouse, child, parent, siblings, ...
So, uncle gets bank account but may chose to share or pay final expenses to honor Grandmoms wishes.
Where it gets more complicated is with the deceased child ( Mom). If Mom outlived Grandmom, then her husband may inherit based on her will or interstate succession. If Mom passed before Grandmom, then Grandmom's arrangements apply.
However, there are different approaches to splitting among Grandmom's children. If the approach called per stirpes applies then Grandson has a claim to Mom's share, shared with mom's other children, if any.
Consult a lawyer. Anyone can sue for anything. Is there any evidence like a caregiver contract or receipts for out of pocket expenses, a video of the family all agreeing to the grandson getting something, ...?
