I am so sorry for your loss. You are correct that you would inherit your Mother's share. Was I think that you may have it wring: if your Grandmother had children (your Mom and others) her siblings do not inherit anything. They are cut out under the intestacy statute once she had children. Please go and speak with a a lawyer asap. Good luck.
