The childen being the first class heir of your sister , you are excluded from inheriting any property or insurance amount left by your sister. The paternal gandmother has got equal share in the property and insurance amount left by your jijaji.

However , you being appointed the legal guardian of the children by the court , you can handle the finances in name of the children with the permission of the court.
