First, you need to determine how your grandfather owned the property. If he owned it jointly with anyone else, it is possible that the title to the property transferred to that person (presumably your uncle) automatically upon your grandfather's death. That may be why there was no deed recorded at that time, it would be unnecessary.
If your grandfather owned the property solely, in fee simple, then your next step is to determine how the property passed according to a will or by the laws of intestate succession. If there are individuals who are entitled to an interest in the property but were not notified, it doesn't matter how long it has been the rights have not been extinguished. That means you may have numerous cousins out there that are entitled to a portion of the property.
If your uncle did take title to the property upon your grandfather's death, the same questions apply to your uncle and his estate.
It is not an easy situation. Best of luck to you.

Is her call everywhere on the call or deed? If no longer, that's as though she does not even very own the placement. LOL you have particularly some rights. as a techniques by using fact the county is in touch, YOU on my own very own this property. She could want to maintain a criminal expert and sue you to get this found out.

You're gonna need to go to probate court. This is going to be a lengthy process so don't expect a quick fix. This should have been done before. BUT it can be done. You may need legal help (lawyer) but it can be done. Good luck with this.
