If Mom and Dad only have life estates, then none of their issue will get anything at their deaths. Hire a GA attorney to search that title and determine ownership. If you stated the facts correctly, then nobody wants to build on the tract. Who is the remainderman?

You will need to hire a probate attorney. The bank is correct. You do not get the $$ in his account merely because you were married. The probate court must determine your rights to his estate.
