More details to this question:
My son passed away in July 2023, He owned one acre of land, he bought a mobile home to put on it. The land was used as collateral tor the home. He never divorced his wife, but had not lived with her for over 6 years. He has a son 24 year old son by his first wife. If I pay the mortgage off will I get the land and the mobile home. Or do I need to wait for it to go into foreclosure. * I gave my son the land as a gift. Everything is in his name only. I even paid his funeral expenses, even though she’s claiming to be the grieving wife.

No. I assume your son did not leave a will. His real property has passed to his wife and his son in equal shares. Consult a probate attorney for specific advice. You likely would see no benefit in paying off the mobile home. The fact you paid for the funeral is irrelevant.

This is general legal advice only. You do not have an attorney-client relationship with Attorney Lynn E. Coleman without a signed retainer agreement and payment of any applicable fees.
