What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama
My Great-Grandfather on my mothers side of the family purchased 36 acres of land in the 1930s. One he died the land would have passed on to his 2 children who were twin brothers. My grandmother and her sister married the twin brothers (my grandfather and his brother) who are both now deceased. My grandmother divorced my grandfather before he died, but my aunt and unlce were still married at the time of his death.
None of the land has been legally deeded or willed to anybody in the family (it was supposed to be willed by my great-grandfather to his children, for his grandchildren, but there is no record of that), but my aunt (my grandmothers sister) has control of the land. Does my mother or grandmother have any legal claim to that land since it was never willed just gone through a chain of inheritence?
