Whether she could have instantly taken title depends upon her age, among other things. As thiws nsupposed occurrence took place more than 130 years ago, what actually occuurred is the best place to determine possible outcomes down the lineage of title and inheritancy. You can research this further in the Law Library at the Washburn Law School.

Good luck
