Legal Question in Real Estate Law in District of Columbia

My neighbor passed and left a will for me to administer and i am the beneficiary. The property was willed to her through a living deed (she possessed the property as long as she lived). All of the original grantors relatives are deceased - what happens to the ownership of the property.

An attorney who handles probate and real property law matters would likely need to review this "living deed", the will, and any other documents/papers which are relevant to the matter in order to answer this question.

As the administrator of her estate, you should know that the property is no longer in her estate. Upon your neighbor's death, did the property revert to the grantors or others? I would have to review the deed that gave the grantors the property and the deed giving the life estate to properly advise you.
