What do we do as their children to claim some type of ownership to this property?

If the deed says that they were joint tenants with right of survivorship, then the whole property would go to your uncle (because he is the only surviving person named in the deed). If the deed says they were tenants-in-common, then you will need a probate court to distribute the property. You have to look at your grandmother's will and your father's will (and other estate planning documents) to see how the property should be distributed. This distribution could be complicated, so you may want to consult with an attorney.

What can we do to keep from paying all her money to the nursing home?

Look for cheaper accommodations for your mother or take her back into your home and obtain in home care for her through Dept of California Human and Health Services. By the way, your mother is lucky and so is your family she can afford the care. Accumulated assets are not for the purpose of leaving family members an inheritance but to care for the person who needs the care; if this was otherwise, than the taxpayers suffer the burden of taking care of your mother, which is not right, when assets of the person needing the care are available for that purpose.

Yes she can. As long as she meets the criteria to execute a valid will. We can supply a generic form or you can get a simple form and execute herself if she is capable. Otherwise we do Wills and Trusts for dirt cheap rates and will even counsel what to do if you still want to draft it. Always helps to have an experienced hand in the process, call or email to discuss further.
