Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Iowa

My grandpa past away leaving me a plot of land with a home on it and another plot of land with a mobile home on it. The mobile home should be tore down it isn't live able. However the land it sits on is fine. My aunt which are the executors are fighting me saying the land can't be parceled off due to the number of times that the real estate has been previously divided. Would this be true. My grandpa also left my son which would have been his great grandson a home with acrage. When grandpa was living he gave my sisters each 3 acres. The plot of land with the mobile home has never been divided previously so is this possible for them to take away from me.

You need to hire a competent attorney in your area to safeguard your interests or to figure out where you stand.
