What does my mother need to do in order to be able to give a buyer a deed, if my grandmother died and left everything to my mom in her Will?

My grandmother died 19 years ago. My mother has procrastinated and did not get the deed transferred to her name; now she is selling the land.

If she is the executrix of the will, at this point she would need to file a quit claim deed from the estate to her but you would need to check with the registry of deeds to determine if anything else is needed like an actual filed probate action. If your registry of deeds allowing this form of transfer, she should be all set.
