Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
property in Virginia purchased by grandfather who expired. Son paid takes and kept land up until his death. prior to his death he left his portion to his daughter. The last child of my grandfather now recently as of November assigned two trustees to the land. The land is occupied by the Sons daughter and the takes was paid by my grandfather, father and daughter and the land of kept up. My grandfathers daughter who claims that she is the only trustee of the land since her father died and then assigned 2 other relates as trustees. neither heir or trustees who was assigned in November 2014 have never provided in help or upkeep to the property. NEVER IN LIFE EVEN WHEN HER FATHER WAS LIVING. What course of action should the son's daughter take since she kept the taxes up, kept the land in good condition and lives on the land.

This is a question involving the area of law known as probate, i.e., wills,
trusts and estates, rather than real estate and real property, but it would be
my recommendation that "the son's daughter" arrange for a consultation
with a local attorney who handles probate matters in her area and who should be
able to recommend an appropriate course of action for her to pursue after this attorney has had the opportunity to examine and evaluate the documents and relevant facts that are associated with this matter.
