Who get a deceased beneficiary’s inheritance?
My grandmother died without a Will 1 year ago. Her 4 children were listed as beneficiaries on her home. They
couldnt agree to sell so house sat for a year. My mom lived in the house. My mother died 1 year after my
grandmother with no Will. Do the siblings get my mom’s share of the home or does my mom’s share go to her children?

Because your mother post-deceased--that is, died after, your grandmother--she was entitled to her inheritance. Then when she passed away, it does to her own heirs or beneficiaries--presumably, her children. So it will go to you and your siblings, not your aunts and uncles.
Please accept our sympathy for your loss.
