If he left his money to "my children" then yes.
If he left his money to "My children, Denise, George, and Fred" and you are not any of those people then no.
Most wills do the second. Some include that if one of the named heirs contests the will that they are automatically disinherited.
If your relative was smart like my FIL he left a will that, read, in part "being of sound mind, I spent it all!"
I passed this along to a couple nice widows we know with A$$hole adult children. I advised them to give each one a $.
it would also depend upon whether the estate reached final settlement and was closed out ... generally, after that, it’s a totally done deal, because the whole point of settling an estate is to allow time for all interested parties to put in their claims, including the taxman, creditors and all others ... after the estate is closed, it ceases to exist as an entity, so i’d think it would be impossible to put in a claim after the estate closed out ...
It would depend on how he wrote his will.

LOL. Get real. The will went through probate 30 years ago if there was one. Any money is long gone.
No, the estate was settled long ago.
