Re: mobile home
You are right that if you do not sign away your own rights that you have not lost them. The divorce action between the son and daughter in law affected their rights but not yours.
There likely needs to be a lawsuit brought by you against her to clarify the title, and "partition" the property between the rightful owners. Your wife may want to litigate that her transfer was not legitimate.
