Assuming your mother was the Grantor, she had a life estate. When she passed away, the Remaindermen's interest in the property vested. If her ex-husband was the Grantor, he had a life estate. When he passed away, the Remaindermen's interest in the property vested. I suggest you have the deed reviewed by an attorney who practices in the field of estate planning or probate.
