Re: stepmother
Assuming you are the legal heirs, you would have to prove that she was mentally incompentent or unduly influenced to turn over the property to her friend at the time she did that.

As long as she is competent, she can do whatever she wants with her property. As non relatives, you will not inherit anyway unless you are beneficiaries in her will or she has no blood relatives.
