Three names on farm deed; one deceased

Mr. Z. died leaving his wife and two step-children's names on the deed to his farm. One of the step-children has also died. Is the farm now split between the two remaining survivors or does the dead step-child's son have a right to that share?

Re: Three names on farm deed; one deceased

I would need to review your deed, because it depends on how the deed is drafted, if title is vested in one manner then the step-children do have rights to the property if it is drafted in another manner then no they don't. Please contact my office for more specific information.
