all of this will depend on a couple of things. One important fact is what is said in everyone's Wills, and that is the first question to be answered.
Let me know if you want me to assist you on this.
Did anyone have a will? Where is the property? Was the step father ever in title(i.e. his name on the deed)? These questions and more need to be answered so a proper legal answer can be made. If you want more info you can contact me directly.
