Grandfather died left all property to grandchildren in will with his children having life estate to property they sold property but kept minerals in all of grand childrens names who has the rights to?

Answer 1

If your grandfather died and left all his property to his grandchildren in his will then they are the owners of the property. If your grandfather granted his own children life estates in the same property they did not have the authority to sell the real estate. In Massachusetts, their deeds would be null and void as to the transfer of the fee to the property. In order to convey the grandchildren's interest in the property they would have been required to have court approval of the sale. You should consult an attorney.
