Q: My step dads mom owned 7 acers. she added him and mom to the deed tenants with survivorship.
Mom only one living. there are no wills. can she sign over land to her son
A:
It sounds like both your stepfather and stepfather's mother are deceased. If so, then the land is likely now owned solely by your mother, and she has the authority to convey the land as she sees fit.
Without reviewing the deed and seeing documentation regarding the status of all parties, I cannot give a definitive opinion on this matter.
