You’re right. Goodness I might be quids in when my ex passes! I doubt his sisters or parents would let me within a foot of his property....and rightly so. Thanks for your input.

Assuming England and Wales, the situation in terms of the intestacy seem perfectly clear.

Your sister died  intestate, unmarried, without a civil partner and with surviving  children.

Her estate passes to those children.

In the absence of a spouse or civil partner and in view of the minority of the children and the fact that their grandmother is the legal guardian of one of the children, it seems to me perfectly reasonable that she should request the authority to deal with the estate.

Have you taken legal advice?

This is our feelings. Yes we have a solicitor but he doesn’t want us to run a large bill up when he feels that the loa shouldn’t be an issue. Any legal bills will be taken from the trust I believe.
