Hi Guest!

Welcome to forums!

The property will not go back to grantor automatically. If the grantee has any heirs then they could file an affidavit of heirship and claim the property. If there is no heir to the property, then the mother can file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and submit the daughter's death certificate and transfer the property in her name.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hi va,

If the grantee has left behind a will, then the property will be distributed as per the will. The heirs whose names are mentioned on the property will have to contact an attorney and probate the will in order to get the property transferred in their names.

Thanks
