What to do if my grandma died about 15 years ago without a Will and her estate was never probated?
The only thing she owned was real property worth about $40,000; it was in her name alone.

I suggest that if the subject property is still in your grandmother's name and she had no Will or trust when she passed then you need to file an intestacy proceeding in the probate court of the county and state where the property is to get title transferred. I suggest consulting with a Wills and trust attorney in your locality. One can be found on attorneypages.com.
