How can ownership be transferred when the owner is deceased

Posted on: 19th Mar, 2008 06:37 pm
My father passed away 20 years ago. He owned property that was only in his name, and he had no will. My Mother is 89 years old and they were married over 50 years when he passed away. She has never remarried. How do we get the property in her name?
Hi Sherry,

Welcome to forums.

To get the property in your mother's name, you'll have to file Affidavit of Heirship and remove your father's name from the deed.

This issue has been discussed earlier. So, please have a look at the topic: How to transfer property in absence of Will . And then if you have further queries, just let me know.

Thanks

Hi Sherry,

Welcome to the forum.

I agree with James that to get the property to your mother's name you will have to file "affidavit of heirship" with the court and contact with an attorney. He will help you in the process.

Best of luck,
Larry

My Mom died is 2006. She left one brother as the executor he probated the will for the house she left him in his, but never transfered the other home she left me and my other brother in another county. How do we proceed to change the deed to our names

Hi Susan!

I understand that the other home is still in the name of your deceased mother. In this case, your brother and you should visit the county recorder's office in which the house is located and file an Affidavit of Heirship. This will help you to change the deed in your name.

Thanks,

Jerry

Recently my mother passed away and left her house to me and my siblings in a wriiten will, however she had never had the title transfered from my fathers name and put into hers, what are our options now?

Welcome sharong,

If the property was not in your mother's name, then your mother's will cannot be considered as effective. As the property was in your father's name, you should file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and transfer the property in your name.

Hi Rhonda!

Welcome to forums!

The immediate heir of the owner will be able to claim the property. If the wife is the only legal heir, then she will be able to claim the property.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
