Q: Wtf does this mean

So I quit claim deed was given to me 7 years ago and I've been going through a divorce for almost that amount of time and it was just finalized a week ago Thursday and I went to file and paid the convenience fees and the recording fees but something wasn't on the deed a number I can't remember exactly what it was but anyway I was told by the auditor that the deed had to be redone but the owner has passed away. She passed away in 2015 I have tried to reach out to the executor and have not gotten a response. Owner had two condos one of which a grandson has but the other has been sitting empty for six plus years. After I paid the conveyance and recording fee I was told that I needed to come back and get my money and it had to go through probate court and I should contact a lawyer because it's a complex case but I thought it was all said and done and all my stuff is in the property and they're telling me I can't have it back. Also there are live animals in the property two turtles and two
