Best Answer

You need to obtain a copy of the deed from the land records office and check the tenancy recited in the deed to your father-in-law and his grandaughter. If they were joint tenants then the property passed to her when he died and she now owns it. If there was no tenancy recited then it is probable that they were tenants-in-common and his half interest would pass to his heirs. In most states the default tenancy for unmarried co-owners is tenancy-in-common.

What rights do you have regarding your mother's property in the event of her death if she married to you stepfather in a community property state?

The rights you have to your mother's property depend on her will and a few other factors. The term "Community Property" does not mean that your stepfather is automatically entitled to all her property. That is a common misconception. The term comes from Spanish Law and has to do with income after marriage. You are in a state that has both Spanish Law and Common Law governing property as a ruling by the United States Supreme Court recently demonstrated. Other than clarify that common misconception, that is all I can tell you. You could ask your mother about her will.

Your grandfather's recently deceased wife has 3 daughters from a previous marriage who he believes are the only heirs listed in his wife's will Is he entitled to anything?

If the decedent left a will then the will should be probated and the provisions in the will must be followed. Your grandfather would automatically become the sole owner of any property he owned as joint tenants with his wife. If he wishes to claim "spousal election" under his state laws he may be entitled to take a share of his wife's estate by law. He should seek the advice of an attorney in his area.
