I recently found out that the house my father lived in his entire life is still in his grandmothers name. She passed away long ago, his mother passed away in the late 70's and he passed away in 2002. There is no will as far as I know. However, his mothers sister (My Great Aunt) is still living and she is 92 years old. My Great aunt has no children and is in good health. She keeps the taxes on the house paid up and has stated to me that IF it were possible she would want me to have the house. I myself have no brothers nor sisters and was wondering if a simple Quitclaim deed solve this problem? AND given this particular situation would the quitclaim be valid? I've also heard about filing Affidavit of Heirship..but I was wondering if the Quitclaim Deed was still the best option in this situation.
Welcome Ki,
Since there is no Will on the property, you may file an affidavit of heirship which helps to transfer property to a heir in case there is no Will.

Hi Ki,
For different purposes related to legal matters, different types of forms are used. In case of transfer of property having a deceased owner's name on the title, one should use an Affidavit of Heirship.
The quitclaim deed is used to convey interest in property from one or more individuals to another. But unlike an affidavit of heirship, the quitclaim is executed during their lifetime.

my husband just passed away, and both our names are on the mortgage. Where do i get an affidavit of heirship to remove his name.
hi brendajohn!
you have to visit the county recorders office in order to file an affidavit of heirship so that you can remove your husbands name from the property. however, the lender may ask you to refinance the property so that the mortgage is on your name. the lenders generally prefer this. it solely depends on your lender whether he will ask to do the same or not.

i want to know how to change a title of a mobile home to my name my husband died 9 years ago and left a will but we live in louisiana and he had children but they all agree its mine what do i do without spending a lot of money
Hi dianne,
Changing the title with a quitclaim would have been less costly. But that doesn't seem to be possible as your husband is deceased. Since he has left a will, the property will go through a probate before it is distributed to the heirs. When everone mentioned in the will has got a share in the property, those who are not interested in it can quitclaim their share to you.

we have land in our family in which my grandfather lived on for many years, he has since passed on. the land is still in my great grandparents name and there was no will. my father wants to have the land transferred to his name since he and i are paying the taxes on it. he was told to file an affidavit of heirship. would this be enough
Welcome terrill,
An affidavit of heirship will help you and your father to transfer the property in your names. You will have to file it at the county recorder's office. This will be sufficient enough to transfer the property in your names.

Hi betty!
Welcome to forums!
You won't be able to claim the property that your parents gave to your siblings. Your siblings will be considered as the owner of that property.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

I have lived on my parents property since they passed away 30 years and have build a home on it , do I have squatters rights? My parents had already deeded my other sibling their homes before they passed away.
Hi betty,
You may claim adverse possession if you've maintained the property and paid taxes for it. You can contact a real estate attorney and he will be able to help you in a better manner in this regard.

My sisters husband die and she is trying to remove his name of the deed, but her children refused to sign the necessary form for it to happen. I don't think she needs them to get her name to be the only one on the deed.
