What is the name of your state? New York. My Father passed away in Nov. He was the only surviving parent. My four siblings and I are all named in the will. For 36 years I have lived next to him on a parcel of land owned by him but with a different deed from his own that I paid the property and school taxes on and did the upkeep in exchange for living there. The taxes are in my Mother and Father`s name.The house and garage are mine. In his will he stated that I am to get the land on which my house is located. The land was previously owned by his Father in-law who in his will left it to his wife and daughter who was my Mother but there was never a new deed transferring this property to my Mother and therefore never a new deed from my Mother to my Mother and Father. I had an abstract done and the last deed on record showed my Grandfather as the owner when he died and my Grandmother and Mother as his heirs. When my Mother passed away (without a will) my Father inherited everything. So who does this parcel of land really belong to? Is it mine through inheritance or not? My siblings are questioning it.
