interesting. an attorney would need to review all paperwork. you don't mention whether the property was homestead at the time of death. that is the legal definition of homestead. if it was than technically the property passed outside probate to the lineal descendants and you don't share in that distribution. there were better ways to protect you, sorry they were not used.
