Two years later, she gave him (as seen in a deed with the county) back my dad, her interest in * acres and .* acres of that *.* tract. Thus retaining */* ownership of *.* tract, while my dad had *% ownership of * acres, .* acres of that tract, and the other *% in *.* acres. He then signed over to her, * acres and *.* of that *.* tract- thus retaining *% ownership of .* acres of the tract. He then died- she said she owned all of it despite nothing legally saying she did. She then sold that tract of *.* land, including my .* without my permission.
