Re: heirs of the deceased land

That's kind of a convoluted story, but if the question is - does the child to whom you father in law terminated his parental rights have an interest in the land? - the answer is *likely* unless there is language in the termination documents terminating the right to inherit. Sounds like somebody needs a lawyer. Good Luck.
