The best approach is to contact an attorney to make sure that all the correct steps are taken to efficiently have your son inherit you ex-husband's assets.

You and your son really need to speak to different attorneys. There may be a conflict between you as far as the real estate. Not to say you shouldn't work it out, but you each need to know your rights.

Depending on how the grand deed is written, you might have either succeeded to his share of the property (if joint), or you might have at least a partial interest in the property (if tenants in common). Please follow the other attorneys' advice and each get attorneys from different law firms.
