Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Indiana

: My mother lived with my grandmother for twenty years. Prior to my grandmother's death, Her living son and daughter had my grandmother's property signed over to them with both their names on the deed. My Mother's sister and her husband also moved on to the property and placed a house trailer and built a pole barn. My grandmother passed away seven years ago and my mother remained in the home during that time. She was never charged any rent, but her elder sister told her that she had to pay 1/3 of the property tax which she did. My mother has also been told to maintain the property insurance on that property. Not too long ago, My mother's sister and her husband purchased a home and moved off the property. In doing that, they took the homestead credit from the property where my mother resides and placed on their new home. They then sold the trailer off the property and sold the pole barn off the property. Recently, My mother's brother and sister have decided that they want to sell the property out from under my mother and went to court to have her evicted. The judge looked at my grandmother's will which my mother's sister kept hidden for seven years and threw the eviction out of court. He told them that if they want to go any further they would have to take the matter to a higher court. What does that mean for my mother? Does she have any recourse or rights in this matter?
