I been living here 10+yrs and grandmother living here longer. Will has been claimed invalid according to courts. I have two siblings & brother doesn't want estate but sister does and am currently trying to work a deal with her. We live in Louisiana.

Property is located in Louisiana.
It appears someone else thinks they own the property. Hire a competent attorney to perform a title search. You may need to file an Ejectment Action.
