Q: in 1948 my uncle deeded his house to his mother she died shortly after can he inherit a interest in the property

A: Yes, possibly. He was still her son (according to your statement) and an heir at law when she died, which means he would probably at least be entitled to share in any distribution of property she owned if she died without a valid will. If she did have a valid will, whether he inherited anything of hers would depend on what she provided in it.

A: I am assuming that his mother died intestate, but do not know when she died, or whether she was married at the time of her death. If she was a widow and died after March 31, 2012, then your uncle would be an heir along with his siblings, if any. You should urge your uncle to seek the advice of a Probate attorney.

A: Was there a will or trust? That's important. If not, then he may inherit as her child under intestacy laws. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue.
