Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Alabama

verbal agreement

my great-grandfather passed away and left the lady owner of a grocery store his estate. the lady told the judge and all lawyers that she would sign the estate over to the family, now 3 years later she has not done this. the probate judge says she doesn't have to now. what can we do? we've been living on the estate since before his death.
