Re: Death Rights
I gather that your grandaprents are still alive and possessing the house. If that is the case, then it depends on a number of factors, one of which is whether the house was titled as Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship. If that is the case, then you probably have no right to the "equity" in the house, as it passed to your Grandparents at your Mother's death.
Re: Death Rights
You need a lawyer to examine the Grant Deed between your Mom and her parents. Your information does not indicate what type of deed from which your Mom was removed: it may have been a deed of trust for the mortgage.There are other technical details which also should be examined. Since this could be a significant property interest, consult an attorney.
Re: Death Rights
depends on the type of deed. if the property was held in joint tenancy, then it goes to the survivor.
