My uncle left property to me and my siblings. He did not have children. However, he was married. Both my uncle and his wife are deceased; She is not on the Deed. There is no Will. Who is legal owners of this property. The children names are the only ones on the Deed
Hello Linda,
"The children names are the only ones on the Deed"
I'm a bit confused at this. If the children are there on the deed then they should have the ownership rights.
If there is no will, then you have to file an Affidavit of Heirship in order to get your uncle's property in your name.
I think it will be better if you consult an attorney and take his advice.

Do you mean your children have been named on the deed? Are they old enough to take over the ownership rights? If not, then you should consult an attorney as to how you would retain owenership of the property till you hand it over to your children.
Whoever is on the deed retains ownership.
