Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
Heir Property
What does it mean exactly?
( a dower interest in 1/3 by the wife)-the statement also reads-
when land is owned in fee simple by the two sons,subject to Mrs.Widow's 1/3 life interest.
I was told that the property is not owned by Mrs. Widow. Is this true?

Re: Heir Property
I do not fully understand your questions, but a 1/3 life estate might mean that Mrs. Widow has an interest in an undivided 1/3 interest in the property for the duration of her (or someone else's) lifetime. Without seeing the documentation, it is not possible to give a definite answer.
