There are several factors that must be considered and you haven't included the important details. The basic questions would be when the land was acquired, how they held title to the property and whether they live in a community propertystate. It is likely they held title so that when one died the other would become the sole owner.
To answer this question you would need to contact an attorney who could check the title to the property in the land records.

Who has the right to property when a mother dies without a will her daughter or her daughter's stepfather?
Let's see . . . the natural daughter's stepfather would be the husband of the decedent. He would be the surviving spouse. Generally, the surviving spouse of someone who dies intestate (without a will) is the primary heir. Each state has its own laws of intestacy and they vary from state-to-state. You would need to check your state laws to determine your status as an heir-at-law. You can check your state law at the related question link below.
how do i find out if my mother had a will my stepfather said there was no will but i dont beleive that! is there a search of some kind i can do?
Wills are public documents. Go to the county courthouse where she lived or died and ask for a public records search for a will. If there was a will that might not have been executed, contact any attorney who worked with your mother at any time. Even a 20 year old will may force the stepfather to prove there is a more recent one that leaves property to him.
My mother refuses to give me the life estate property left to us by my grandparents can she do this?
It depends on who you mean by "us". If your mother refuses to give you property that is legally yours, contact the police. If it is jointly owned with your mother, you may need to file a lawsuit to have the property divided.
If your mother and stepfather owned a house and your mom died do the stepchildren have any rights to the house on your mother's behalf?
No, unless the property was titled in such a way that it prevents the automatic succession to the surviving spouse, which is highly unlikely. In all states a primary homestead by-passes probate procedure and becomes the sole property of the surviving spouse.
When a father dies does the step-mother automatically keep all property and inheritance?
The distribution of your father's estate depends on several factors. If he and his wife owned property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship then his interest automatically passed to her when he died. If your father owned any property in his own name he could make a will and direct how that property should be distributed. If your father lived in a community property state, community property laws would affect how the property would be divided. If your father died without a will the state laws of intestacy would guide the distribution of his property. You can check your state laws at the related question link provided below.

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.
