Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
My dad passed away last year and there are problems with the will. Let me start at the beginning.... My grandfather passed 12 yrs. ago and left everything to my grandmother but she never transferred house to her name. My grandmother passed away 2013 and left everything to my father and uncle and they never transferred the house from the grandfathers name either because they agreed on everything. Well my father passed away last year so my uncle decided to finalize our grandmas will and went to an atty and had the house put into grandmas name so that it could be distributed to my uncle and father but since my father was deceased, it should revert to my uncle. So, now my grandmas estate is settled. correct?

Doubt it. An attorney needs to investigate the various assets and estates to see if properly administered.
If grandparents owned as survivorship. The property passed by operation of law to survivor. This is true without private or any documents. There is no reversionary right. Once survivor dies the interest transfers by operation of law to the heirs. On death of an heir that heirs interest transfers to his descendants. No reversionary interest. Hire an attorney.
