My husband's grandmother owned 80 acres and recently passed. My FIL wanted to disclaim ownership and give his 50% directly to his one and only living son. Can that be done somehow without them taking ownership first? We live in Minnesota if that makes a difference.

You should probably first have the title run to check for discrepancies. You should consult a real estate lawyer to determine if any fraud was or is involved. Once these two items are done, you will know what your next move will be.
