After my grandmother then my father which was her son passed away some how my aunt took over both estates which I know my gmfather didn’t have a will and I am his only child plus he was on my grandmas will and still I recieved nothing. She contacted me wanting me to sign a quit deed so she can sell my grandmas property? Do I have any rights to this?

Do not sign. First, there is no reason for you to quit your claim to the property. Second, your aunt is sorely mistaken if she thinks that a quit claim deed transfers title. It does not. It merely quits your claim to someone else's property, such as a neighbor's driveway you have been using for years. Contact a local probate attorney about filing for an heirship determination to preserve your rights.
