Q: My uncle left a will and life estate warranty deed stating he could live there until he passed to my mom in 2009. But my
Mom Passed first in 2016. My uncle passed in 2023. He had Dementia But before passing he made a warranty deed to a person who manipulate him into the warranty deed on same property, but she passed before my uncle in 2022 and death certificate was given to probate. So now there are two warranty deeds on same property. Which deed takes precedence? I submitted all documents to probate and was made Legal Representative on my mom's will and went through probate and paid all back taxes and back utilities. But now I'm trying to evict unknown drug users squatters peoples living and damaging the house and district judge stating I can't evict because legally I am not the owner and that I need to get legal counsel. Which deed takes precedence and what kind of attorney do I need. Litigation or probate or civil? Any advise offered would be truly appreciated as I'm so confused. Law is supposed to be based on common sense so I would think my moms warranty deed and Will would take precedence.
