name off the deed after he died and kept in her name, claiming survivor ship. In a settlement she said she would sign the property to the rightful heirs. She failed to do that, now one of the heirs has died. On what grounds can we get the probate case reopened?
No one is going to be able to give you a good answer without looking at the documents to which you refer. You need to assemble all the information and schedule an appointment with an expert probate attorney. If there was a survivorship deed, it is valid. If she signed a prenup of some sort, it may or may not be valid. No way to know what's going on without reviewing all the documents and interviewing the family about the facts.
