    Hello browny:

    When grandad passed, his estate should have been probated. That's a court procedure where all his assets and debts are taken care of. Evidently, somebody didn't do what they were supposed to do.

    If it were me, I'd hire a lawyer to clean this up.

    Yes, at this point you are still going to have to go though probate court, and now you really need an attorney to get it done properly
