First it is important to determine how the property was titled at the time of your grandfather's death. If it was in joint tenancy with your uncle, or your uncle was a Pay on Death beneficiary it would pass to him by operation of law regardless of what the Will says. If the asset was only in your grandfather's name then it would be necessary to go through probate. If it is/went through probate you should receive notice of the petitions, etc. You should probably review the title information available on line for the county where the property is located and determine the ownership status and history. You may want to seek legal counsel to address the specifics of your situation.

It sounds like your father has placed his home in a living trust and your mother is the beneficiary after your grandfather passes away.  The home will be included in your grandfather's estate for purposes of paying his debts at his death. Your grandfather could give the home to your mother today, and maybe it escapes being part of his estate if he survives for mroe than 5 years.
