My grandfather, born in the 1920s, divided his property among his sons in 1965. He received a house and land, which he later sold before 1985. He had two sons and two daughters, all married by 1983. My father, his second son, cared for him and my grandmother from 1985 until his passing in 2000. In 2002, my grandfather, then 80 years old, signed a deed giving his deceased son’s children, aged 25 and 30, the right to care for him and my grandmother. My grandfather passed away in 2010. In 2011, my grandfather’s other son and two daughters filed a suit to divide the remaining property, including the house. My aunts took my grandmother with them, claiming a share of the house for themselves. They argue for an equal share. Is the 2002 deed my grandfather signed valid?

The validity of the 2002 deed depends on whether it was executed freely and without undue influence. The court will consider if your grandfather’s mental and physical condition at the time allowed him to understand the implications of the deed. The court will also examine the relationship between your grandfather and his son’s children, and if any coercion or pressure was applied to secure the deed.
