Re: estate never created since 1935
A surviving child, or grandchild if there are no children surviving, has to apply for administration in the county where your grandmother died. You will need an original death certificates for both grandparents for the administration. Once appointed, the administrator can record a new Deed. Administration is somewhat complicated and you might need a NY attorney to assist you. If you need someone, I have several highly competent NY attorneys I work with that could help you.

You need to either probate the estate (if there is a will) or administer the estate (if there is no will). Then you can record a new deed.
Contact my office if you need an attorney in New York to assist you with this matter. Good luck.
Re: estate never created since 1935
Where is the property located? If in Florida, a surviving beneficiary can Petition for Summary Administration in the county where the property is located. I am unfamiliar with NY law but I imagine, NY has a similar process in the event the property is located in NY.
