I need help my sisters and myself was left our parents house and land in flordia. The problem that comes into play is that my father had remarried and given his new wife life time use of the place. She contacted us this week and told us she had moved out and wanted to turn the place over to us. She no longer want or could keep up with it. The deed to the place is still in my fathers and mothers name and my father's (who passed away last) will has not been probated. My Question is what do we need to do and in what order do we need to do it.
Hi ccrayton,
Since your father has left a will, the property needs to be probated first. Once the will is executed and property given to the heirs as per the terms of the will, his new wife can sign a quitclaim deed to transfer the title of the property to you and your sisters. However, I think a consultation with a probate attorney would be useful in this case.
Thanks,
Jerry
