Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Kansas

My grandmother got divorced and my uncle who was her power of attorney did not transfer over the deed into her name, then he died and she died a few years later, and since she had no will and was living in a nursing home last 10 years of her life the state took over the house when she past, then they decided that they didn't want it and gave to my mom if she caught up the property taxes which she did. then she sold it and now the new owner can't get it in her name, can you please tell me what we can do to make this right

A quiet title action can be filed in the Circuit Court to determine legal ownership of property. The case is filed in the county where the real estate is located. Parties who may have an interest are served with notice of the suit; or service can be by publication. After a judge determines the legal ownership, a correct deed can be filed with the register of deeds. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
