Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

My grandparents owned a small piece of property in Pennsylvania. They both passed away decades ago. Their names are both still listed on the deed. The property supposedly went to my father (In Florida) who paid the property taxes for 30 + years even though he was not on the deed. My father passed away about 10 years ago and my mother has been paying the property taxes on the property since then. Probate was done on my father's estate, but apparently this piece of property was not included. Someone in PA is interested in purchasing the property and contacted my mother about purchasing it. What in the world does she need to do to get this property into her name through two generations of deceased relatives? Note: There are two living siblings for my father. I believe they may be OK with my mother obtaining ownership of the property. Thanks for your help. Rob

I agree with Barry Stein. I believe you need to speak to an attorney in PA. Their probate may be somewhat different.
