If your fiancee's name is on a deed, the deed is needed to establish what is his legal title. Based on his legal interest he will be advised accordingly. Many persons claim interests in property that are misunderstood.

It seems that the aunt has a life interest and your fiancee is a remainderman ( takes interest only when the aunt passes).

If that is the case she has full rights to the property. The deed has to be provided to confirm any interest.
