You have not provided enough informtion for an attorney to be able to answer your question. If your step-father has hired an attonrey then you definitely need to hire one too. If your mother legally transferred property that she owned to you, then the fact that she was married to your step-father at the time should not make any difference. Normally, in such situations the title company involved with the closing of the real estate transfer will require a spouse (your step-father) to sign a marital waiver. Was that done in this case? Please consult with an attorney.
