My father in-law and mother in-law has a grant deed. first of all what is it and how is it diff. from regular living trust? well, my father in-law passed away about a year ago. Now, there is a huge quarreling going on everyone seems to (my mother in-law and hist siblings) be distancing from my husband. One day when my mother in-law passes, what recourses does my husband has if his siblings decides that they are not going to give any part of the trust (which is their family home) to my hubby? how can we find out whether he is in the trust before passing of my mother in-law? how can my husband get his 1/4th of what is due to him? there are total of 4 kids in the family. please help!

You need to consult with an probate attorney about your situtation. You do not give enough information. It all depends on the wording of the trust.
Hi geets!
Welcome to forums!
If your husband's name is mentioned as one of the beneficiaries of the trust, then I think he will definitely get his dues. If his name is not mentioned, then he will have no legal rights to demand his interest in the property. As far as I know, you can contact the county recorder's office to know whether his name is in the trust or not. You can also consult an attorney and take his/her advice.
Feel free to ask if you have further queries.
